OMG! Our House Owl at dawn just flew magnificently by the dining room window and alighted once more upon their favorite tree by the front door, all floofed out! Then promptly fell asleep. Going on ten days now they're our guard owl. #VanderWild
@jeffvandermeer great picture! We've got a couple of great horned owls around here somewhere, but we never actually see them. Never-ending getting close enough for a picture like that 😍

@jeffvandermeer That is just too cool. We often have owls close enough to our rural home to hear them -- sometimes there's a couple and they hoot back and forth -- but we've seen one, much less have one hang out for over a week guarding us.

Love the picture. Thanks!

@jeffvandermeer "but we've never seen one"

Damn if I don't need a copy editor on Mastodon just as much as I do on Twitter.

@jeffvandermeer Your owl is spectacular and must be a bit… er, unnerving (to the smaller locals)?
@jeffvandermeer that is one superb owl ❀️
