Does anyone out there like owls?
I have a lovely friend who likes owls. I can understand that. There is something very appealing about the little guys. Funny thing is, I seem to see them everywhere I go these days.
A wise companion
A strange looking pair!
Speak for yourself!
I’m not peeking- honestly
You are! I saw you!
Don’t quarrel chaps! Let’s go home
And do a bit of knitting
Wait for us!
But don’t forget the baby!
Had any good owl sightings lately? You’ll probably find some when you’re out Saturday shopping.
Enjoy your Saturday, whatever you plan to do. My first job is always Six word Saturday. Cate at Show My Face has been running this challenge for the longest time. Join in if you’d like.

The other night, a large one was up in our tree – he was hooting for a bit. I’m thinking there was something out there that he was about to have for dinner.

I would love to be close enough to nature to see, or hear, one, Mary. I’ve only seen them in captivity. 🙂

I Jo, I too like owls. I heard on the other night just past midnight, screeching away..

If you have too many I could use a few to scare the birds off our balcony.

Hiya Jim! 🙂 I don’t think your birds would be too impressed by my owls but I’ll keep you in mind.

Lovely owl images, Jo. I had an aunt who used to collect owls (not real ones), and I remember she gave me an owl bell from her collection. I still have it, but it’s in storage. 🙂

Hiya Cathy! 🙂 Bet you’ve got something lined up for the weekend? It’s beautiful again here today- the strangest Autumn. I’ve come inside briefly to watch the Shanghai tennis final- no not Rafa, bless him. He’s not doing too well at the minute. Weekend hugs! 🙂

Ha, Jo, sadly I didn’t line up anything for this weekend as we had to work all day Saturday to make up for the holiday. I’m off today, Sunday, but it’s back to work tomorrow.
I’m glad you’re having a beautiful, but strange (?), autumn!
Oh Jo, what will you do if Rafa’s not doing well? How will you survive? Hugs to you on this Sunday afternoon. xxx

They can be pretty snappy 😉 Reminds me of a presentation by some reptile expert, where I got to hold some newly hatched Nile crocs. Nippy! …but not yet capable of swallowing even your pinky. Not for want of trying, though.

Cute post Jo. Growing up on the prairies in Canada we had owls nesting around the farm. I love the sound of them hooting away.

Definitely amazing to see them in the wild. There is one that loves to sit on my Mom’s TV antennae that sits on top of her house. Maybe he’s watching a good program 🙂

I LOVE owls. I was blown away by the idea of making an owl doorstop, and nearly forgot to comment in my anxiety to find a clamshell template for the owl’s plumage!
Love,

love the different owls you give us!
I have two different memories with teaching about owls – in the art room with some nice success by combining it with tree sketches – and then with younger kids in a summer science class where they dissected owl pellets and learned about hoots/calls.
We always loved hearing the
barred owl hoot cos it sounds like “Who-cooks-for-you”
