The Owl and the Squirrel
At 3:45 this afternoon the well-known screech owl was snoozing in its favorite tree cavity, ignoring a nearby squirrel that was nibbling on some food. A moment later the squirrel had scrambled down to the ground and the owl opened its eyes briefly, only to settle back for another nap. Other bird sightings today include one male bufflehead, one female ruddy duck, two American coots, six canvasbacks, and nineteen ring-necked ducks.
