Great name, I have thought that to.
I found a owls nest and visited yesterday. Quite different from Archie and Ediths home. the nest is hard to spot, the mom sits and sleeps in a tree about 100 feet away, dad is in another sleeping, baby sleeps, does look up sometimes.
Your piture is great. #8433031

Toooooo cute!!! Meathead is gaining confidence. Great capture, Hal!!! The nest texture is superb too!!! I must share this link on Facebook and Twitter.

Glad you liked the names; you are the BEST to capture these great photos and show them to us at BP!!! What a fun education I am getting.

Have a super day! Nancy J Locke #8434079
