We had a lovely visitor on our back fence this morning - a Barred Owl!

Here's a picture of my wife taking a picture of the owl in the backyard while trying to let our tiny dog Muffin have her morning bio break!

And THEN... one of our local squirrels (Molty Muldoon) decided to check the owl out... BE CAREFUL!

Oh, it got weirder. I feel like my backyard squirrels have never seen an owl before!

I was going through my photos and found another nice shot of the owl - he was moving himself to the other side of the post and spread his wings. Really beautiful bird! 😍

And finally, a slightly closer shot of the owl. I haven't seen it since. 😢

It's been almost 2 weeks since the Barred Owl graced our backyard with its presence but last night I had a dream about it! I dreamt it was perched in a tree in our backyard, and I could see it from the top floor of our house - and I dreamt that I was fumbling around to grab my camera and get some more pics of it.

I asked Copilot AI to generate an image of what the scene might have looked like, and I think it did a reasonably good job. (This is my first ever AI image)
