this gorgeous beast

the great horned owl

for several days now i've been hearing an owl outside my window. tonight i heard at least two call back and forth. maybe more? if it was a group of them i would be able to refer to them as a parliment of owls. really! how cool is that?! anyway, i've been waking up to it either early in the morning when it's still dark or hearing it at night-tonight it was 9pm. i know they're great horned because of their infamous hoo-hoo-HOO-hoo-hoo, which is such a great sound to hear so close! owls are magic to me and knowing they're right up there in one of those trees but unable to see them makes me happy and a little intimidated too! they are so big and mysterious! i really think they might be the reason the cat is missing. i've just had that gut feeling ever since she dissapeared during the night (it was a full moon too) and i started hearing the hoo. poor yapita!!!!! i hope i'm wrong but owl tells the brutal truth. wise, feared, honest. a true seer even in the darkness. and a strong hunter with amazing crushing power! oh geez

Owls are so cool. I remember when we lived in Lewisville I was worried about letting Bailey out in the backyard at night. Afraid that she would get snatched by one of the local owls.
