Rick KenobiWe 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!

Did they cause any harm the first time they saw them?

@nuwagaba2 No, nobody got hurt. I was amazed that the owl just sat there. It wasn't aggressive at all - it just wanted to nap. Once the squirrels figured out they couldn't scare him off, they just went back to their squirrelly business.
penguin42@VA3DSO @nuwagaba2 Back to chewing the cabling on the wall opposite?
@penguin42 @nuwagaba2 I've never had squirrels or other critter gnaw on any of the cables outside my house (yet!). However, in that picture, that's actually my neighbour's house (the owl was on our back fence). Hopefully the cables remain intact!
