The New Neighbor

Here's a picture of my new neighbor:

I have to admit I did not take that picture. But it wasn't due to a lack of trying. Well, actually, it was. My battery was dead. But this is a Barred Owl and he lives in my monsterous oak tree in my backyard. He is really pretty. And sits in the limbs and stares down at me. I can see him blink. But he's loud as hell. Especially at around 3:00 AM. I can hear him right now. Without some help, he might keep me up most nights.

What a pretty owl! Did you know owls are supposed to be a sign of good luck or a sign of a message. Either way, if you have annoying animals or rodents in your neighborhood the owl will take care of them. Unless you take care of him first because of the noise. :-)

THANKS for the comments about DJ!!!
We use to have an Owl that would hoot at 3am, too. I loved hearing him. I could never catch a glimpse of him. I also heard they are suppose to be good luck!!
I was glad to see you also, if only for a small time. Hopefully we will get to talk more sometime. I always hear about you and others, so it is nice to have a face to the name...lol. I also appericated your thoughts and prayers for DJ!!!
Take Care!!!
