Wildlife Spotting on Road 79
January 23. 2007

This morning the most amazing thing happened! I heard a bunch of crows cawing like mad outside of my study window, and when I went to look, an owl landed on the windowsill! I grabbed my camera and slowly opened the screen to get a better photo. The picture was still dark, however, so I slowly opened the glass windowpane. At that point, the owl turned toward me and like an idiot I said, “Hello!” which scared it so it flew off before I could take a glass-free photo. I was close enough to the bird to touch it though. This photo was taken without zoom:
