Great picture! Looks like you are finally out of the snow and into a world of green up there! Hope you get some good summer rain to keep the fire danger low!

Thanks Tavis, for sure! We have been so wet that the big issue will be all the growth. Alfalfa is almost 18". Rain will be needed.
We raise 2-3 owls every year and they move to the barn about this time. Perfect cover and most seem to make it to adulthood.

Cool pic!
Had a pair of Barred Owls nesting in a tree in my front yard several years ago. One of the adults got hit and killed by a car and the other adult abandoned the two baby owls in the nest. After a couple days I climbed up and rescued the two young owls. I raised them for a while and turned them over to a bird of prey center.
One was bigger than the other and I named the little one "Hooter" and the big one "Double D". My teenage step-sons thought that was pretty cool when I explained it to them ;^)

That is a great pic. We actually drove by this on Sunday, perched on power pole near Watertown, NY. Never seen one outside of the winter months in NY before.
