On Monday a worker at my Grandpa's ranch caught this owl sitting on one of the rafters in a chicken house. Back at home I'm usually the bird expert, but I never really studied Californian owls. Nobody got hurt,( unless you'd count the worker's ripped shirt,). J. ,( left) didn't ever get to close, but cousin H. , ( far right,) and I,( middle) got to pet the big eyed visitor. I've seen many owls, but never got very close before they flew away, and I know he really looks like a stuffed animal, but he's not. We let him go after we took this shot.
That's about as good as the birdshow at the zoo!
