What's outside of your picture window today?

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!

Owl pellets are fascinating to dissect. Your grands will love it! When my daughter was younger I’d collect the pellets to do a little search and discovery session in her (and other) science classes in elementary school. Each student got a face mask, small magnifying glass and toothpicks or wooden swizzle sticks to separate the pellets and discover the little bones as well as insects and other oddities. They’d try to assemble the bones and identify the parts. 😊 We also raised monarchs for years which was so cool! Nature is truly amazing.
Today we’re in another flurry of dragonflies hatching. My daughter had about 20 on her back and arms. There are literally thousands in the air, hanging on the trees and grass...all sparkling in the sun! Simple pleasures.
