Birders

I was captivated. It stood out because it was bright white against the cloudy and drab backdrop. It was perched on a picnic table out in the open—no foliage or trees—facing the horizon.

I literally tiptoed to get closer keeping a distance so it wouldn’t fly off. As I was passing behind it turned its head backwards! . It was so beautiful and BIG. I’d never seen an Owl before and I am not a bird watcher so I wasn’t sure what it was exactly. I googled it and found out.

The next day, I walked by the same spot and a guy was crouched down with a telescopic camera lens pointed its way so I didn’t go near. I never saw it again.

I took a not-so-good photo that I may or may not be able to find as I’ve changed phones twice since. I’m going to look for the pic though because this thread and seeing one the other day looking in a Harry Potter movie have made me want to see it again.

It was unforgettable and very special.
