Come One, Come Owl

We've had ducks, we've had deer, we've had squirrels, birds, hawks, cats, and racoons. But last night was the first time we had an owl!!

Around 8pm we walked out on the porch. Moments later Manny said "wow - look at the owl!"  The owl had flown across the yard and perched himself atop our fence. He sat there and observed the yard, turning his neck back and forth. He even let me get close enough to take a few pictures, including some with the flash!

After about ten minutes, Mr. Owl flew from the fence and departed across the lawn back into the dark.  Perhaps he will visit again.
