Meantime, we saw one of these land on a trampoline of a neighbor's behind our house in the fall. It was an amazing and a bit frightening sight. Troy said if our cats had been out, it might have grabbed them for a snack. Yikes!<br /><br />Happy Mother's Day weekend to an awesome mother. :)Roxane B.

And I am glad, too because I like the way you tell a story. <br />You have confirmed what I thought that an owl will take a cat. We don't have to worry as much about ours now probably since they are 'plump'.<br />A name - - - owls remind me of farms and barns - - - and this one was less than smart about doing his job - - - so Barney Fife comes to mind - - - but that name seems undignified for such a fine feathered beauty.Lyndahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12404589772713955710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-20859879426773691282011-05-06T06:49:26.939-05:002011-05-06T06:49:26.939-05:00Sounds like a great job...surrounded by all that h...Sounds like a great job...surrounded by all that history.
