Before heading to the lake for Labor day weekend, I had the kids picking tomatoes in the garden, when they found an adult Owl who had parked itself under a nearby blueberry bush. The kids knew something was up and alerted Mom & Dad. We didn't want to get too close, but I snapped a few pics of him. He's a Horned Owl I believe, and he looked hurt.
After calling the Game Comission (which never did come) and asking the opinion of our neighbor who is Mr. Outdoors, he approached it after a half hour and it struggled to it's feet. Flapping its wings he soared up across the yard and flew into the pines.
Guess he didn't have a broken wing... Strange.
