I’ve recently learned that a virus has eaten my last two posts! So here goes to see if it will work with the new level of security provided by my son and daughter-in-law.
We don’t see much wildlife around here but the other night I went out on the porch and heard a terrific, really frightening racket, as if something huge were trying to get in. Then I saw that a big barred owl had pushed its way through the screen door in pursuit of a small animal (small footprints in the snow on the porch). Then the owl somehow got pinned between the screen and the protective hardware cloth in front of it. He was struggling mightily to get out so I ran and got the camera. By morning he had worked his way out and was repeatedly flying against the screen. Ed put on protective clothing, including a shop mask and using a broom shepherded the owl outside where he soared up into the woods.
