I Just Don't Give A Hoot

But this guy does. Not to be outdone by Spork in the Eye's (SitE) blog entry, El Gee posts his own "owl shot". I have no idea what kind he is.

I took this picture a few months before we moved from NC to Texas in 2001. I think he was living in the woods west of our house until he came to dine on the voles that were burrowing in the soft top soil on the south west corner of our wooded lot, causing it to collapse. Once he moved in, our vole problem was gone. Thanx, Mister Owl.

Word to the wise. Getting close and attempting to take a flash photo of this owl was a bit unnerving. After I took it, he flapped his wings and I was a bit nervous that he might attack the geek with the Olympus D-460 in his hands.
