He has been very patient about stopping for all my picture taking. <br /><br />Rose, We have seen the owls in the daytime though they are sitting quite still and watching for food. I hope that beaver is far from here!<br /><br />Les, thanks!<br /><br />Tammy, Owls are so cool to see. A real treat. Our dogs found one possum and just sniffed it. Of course the possum was playing dead.<br /><br />Tina, I like this tree! We could use a lot more owls and hawks to help with the small rodent issue.<br /><br />Lea, I wish my photo was a bit clearer...had to zoom in a good bit.<br /><br />Dave, I think Snowy Owls are so pretty, haven't seen any of those here. Wildlife is amazing.<br /><br />Randy, Yes, they are quite common and we hear all sorts of calls from the Barred Owls. Some of the territorial cries are pretty wild. <br /><br />Sweetbay, We had one Great Horned Owl last year, but haven't seen him this year. Post Oak was one of the possibilities on the tree ID. <br /><br />Jennifer, Your owl sighting is really neat.<br /><br />Rosey, thanks! I am thrilled when I spot an owl. <br /><br />NCmountainwoman, thanks so much. <br /><br />Diana, It is a mixed collection of things in this posting. yes, an 18 year old dog certainly makes you take s----l---o---w walks!Janet, The Queen of Seafordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07876204203323750245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6119628314111837184.post-4887478762432818492012-01-11T10:31:44.586-05:002012-01-11T10:31:44.586-05:00Great photos.

First, an 18-year old dog. Wow. How lucky you are to have shared all this time together. I understand old dogs and short walks - we lost Tanner in Nov. and just got a new pup last Mon! LOVE the owl-he's so distinguished looking. I sure wish we had moss and lichen here. It's so garden-fairy magical, but it would look like fried food here! Welcome back to reading and blogging-I'm glad to be here, too.

Why ar...Hi Janet, I share your enthusiasm for owls. Why are they so rare to see I wonder? The other day, I was dropping my husband at his work, when we saw a snowy owl in the headlights of the car. He was sitting on a low fence post, watching over a vacant field. The car lights frightened him and he took to the air. What a magnificent creature! He was huge with a broad wing span. He flew off like a ghost in the night.Jennifer@threedogsinagardenhttp://threedogsinagarden.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6119628314111837184.post-10020901578910190472012-01-09T23:05:29.262-05:002012-01-09T23:05:29.262-05:00That Owl certainly is grand!

We've always had Barred Owls here but this year a pair of Great Horneds have showed up too and caused a re-shifting of territories among the raptors. <br /><br />Without knowing anything about the oak I'm going to take a wild stab and say Post Oak, just because of the silouhette of the tree. Could be wrong but oh well. lolsweetbayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06248743114944736346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6119628314111837184.post-86652711468156164322012-01-09T20:49:48.321-05:002012-01-09T20:49:48.321-05:00Janet,

I saw an owl camping on time in the Smokeys and once I thought I saw one in the woods out back but that's about it.

I have seen possums here, though--you're so right; they're not very handsome creatures. One thing I don't have to worry about here is beaver damage--I hope they don't find your trees! Their work on those logs is pretty amazing.<br /><br />Hope you had a wonderful holiday!Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01384059342847120951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6119628314111837184.post-86923119061556913502012-01-07T21:27:11.104-05:002012-01-07T21:27:11.104-05:00What a beautiful creature that owl is!

He knows you well;-) I hope you are able to remain free of beaver damage too close to your property. They are cute critters but can do a lot of damage in their efforts to make their dams! The photos of the mosses and lichens are cool! I hope to do more blogging (and visiting) this year, as well.Janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12844013803699228989noreply@blogger.com
