Owl Day

It's obvious I'm no longer a "photo-a-day" kind of gal. Life has just become too hectic lately to keep up with a photo every single day. But I will still post photos as exceptional events take place in my life.

Today was one of those exceptional events. A barn owl was in our shop/barn and he had become entangled in fly tape. After talking to two wildlife biologists in our area, it was obvious they were not going to come "save the owl". They gave us instructions for capturing the owl (wear heavy gloves.... REALLY?!) and getting the fly tape off him. Luckily, we got most of it off, and he is now flying free again!
