The picture of the little bush-rabbit is a case of being at the right spot at the right time. I was at the picture window taking a picture of a squirrel in the spruce, when this little fellow hopped out from behind the trees. He stayed just long enough for me to get about 3 good shots. I’m sure he was posing just for me. The tiny owl was perched in the maples beside our house for quite a few hours, waiting for a mouse. He flew down a couple of times but just missed it. The owl was still there after dark so we don’t know if he ever got his prey. The Northern Saw-Whet Owl is about 7-8 ½ inches, and is very tame. Lyle was able to walk up within about 3 feet, before the owl flew to a higher branch. |
