I too love the owls. We have a screech who nests near our Texas tiny house, and I love it when the weather allows for the windows to be open so I can hear her.
In MN we have several different ones in the neighborhood. I can always tell when they're hunting because the songbirds hide. We find owl pellets along the path in our nearest woods quite often- can't wait to dissect them with the grands when they're a little older.
Nature is so amazing!

We have an osprey nest near us and the parents are now feeding their chicks. We live a couple of small blocks from a river that feeds into the ocean.
