Today I had a training in Las Cruces (NM) at the New Mexico Farm & Ranch Heritage Museum. As we were walking back into the building from lunch, we saw these! Can you see them?!
At first I thought they were "fake" until...the one on the right moved his head and blinked his eyes. It was totally awesome! I have never seen a wild owl, just some in a zoo. I could not wait to get home and blog about them and my photos.
Here is a good close-up. Pretty cool, huh?
Give a hoot! Don't pollute! LOL (Well, I needed a good closing that was appropriate for my post.)
I'm sort of freaked out and entranced by them all at the same time. Owls are so neat. Glad you had your camera with you!!
ReplyDeleteYes, Lydia! I agree! That word definitely described me today - "entranced". I just stood there watching them.
DeleteGREAT photos! They do look fake but because they're so pretty!
ReplyDeleteI agree, Katy! I had to go back to the same place today for a training and they were still there (or there again). :) This was the highlight of my week, thus far.
DeleteSecond GHO I've seen online today. The other person said that if you see a GHO baby on the gorund, to leave it alone, the parents WILL guard it and teach it to fly.
ReplyDeleteReally, Joy? That's interesting and even more so that someone else posted about these beauties.
DeleteLove it! Don't know that I would have even noticed! Glad you did!
ReplyDeleteWell...someone else noticed before me so I'm glad they did! :)
