"What can be done but to let the present moment seek and find you.". Truer words were never spoken. Much appreciated.

That's exactly what I was thinking! I love the concept of the present searching for my presence.

They are such a treat to see perched like that napping and enjoying the day. :)

I hope to see one in the wild someday. We have them here year round but I have yet to see one. We considered installing an owl nesting box but I don’t want to lose our song bird visitors by attracting more predator birds to the yard.

Thanks Nettie - their hiding spots and camouflage is amazing. I wonder how many times I've passed by them without seeing them.

Fantastic, Neil! I really like the patience that it took over a year to see this screech owl. Well worth the wait.

Thanks Heidi! I was most surprised to see this owl after so long. I thought they may have left the area. I'm glad this owl is here and hope I see them again!

They blend in so well, but hopefully you'll see them again before another year goes by.
