THIS IS MY third entry about our trip up the mountain. Although I didn’t return with a stone tablet (containing 10 more commandments), I do have one more day of photos to share. Thou shalt like (liketh?) what you see tomorrow. Today’s photos are all labeled. The Eurasian Eagle Owl was one of the last birds we met. By that time, we were almost completely immersed in fog.

ESTA ES MI tercera entrada sobre nuestro viaje a la montaña. Aunque no regresé con una tableta de piedra (que contiene 10 mandamientos más), tengo un día más de fotos para compartir. Te gustará lo que veas mañana (mi nuevo mandamiento). Las fotos de hoy están todas etiquetadas. El búho real euroasiático fue una de las últimas aves que conocimos. Para entonces, estábamos casi completamente inmersos en la niebla.

Primera en la niebla, estaba la Caracara que no podía entender qué era tan interesante al Buitre Leonado (mi blog de ayer).

Magnificent creatures! Those baby owls are so cute!!
Jim:
Breathtaking. And, yes, those baby owls!
Mitchell, between you and Maddie, and your bird posts, I’m starting to take interest in what’s flying around me these days. I’ve been taking the crows and turkeys for granted.
Deedles:
Turkeys would be so cool to live near. I’ve seen them on my travels. I LOVE Maddie’s windowsill. Really miss having bird feeders. Our backyard in Connecticut looked like a giant aviary some days.
All the years I have lived here, I have seen one owl. I know we have them, but I dont know where they are. Maybe by the lake. Have a nice Easter weekend boys!
Mistress Borghese:
Hope you have a great Easter weekend. I had never seen an owl in nature until we started going on Owl Prowls with our local Audubon shop in Connecticut. We ended up getting tapes and would call them in ourselves with our boom box. Really exciting. We then had all the guide books telling us where to find them when we traveled. On one drive (still in Connecticut), Jerry was driving and I was reading the local birding book. I read: “Make a right onto the dirt road through the marsh. Look carefully. You might even see a long-eared owl.” And at that very moment, a long-eared owl flew across our path, seemingly in slow motion, and looked right into the car as it passed!
I might have seen in the zoo, but no where else. Interesting looking-creatures.
Kirk:
We’ve been lucky to have lived in places (and to have had an interest in birding) where we saw a lot of these in nature… and on our own property.
I was wondering how you were going to work in the pedicure theme!
Debra:
Stick with me. Sometimes I make sense.
the little owls! birds of prey are fascinating, we have a red-tailed hawk around here.
anne marie:
We used to see such a tremendous variety of birds in Connecticut, different variety in Southern California. Haven’t done the bird walks here, but need to.
I love birds – especially owls. We have a lot around here but you usually only hear them, not see them. I
Cheapchick:
We used to go out on at night in Connecticut specifically to find certain owls. We would play their calls on our own boom box and were always successful. It was amazing. In Santa Barbara, we had an owl living/nesting in a palm tree right outside our door!
I love trying to figure out how you are going to tie in the blog title with the content. This one stumped me. Magical photos.
Susan:
Sometimes, my connections (in my head) are so obscure or far-fetched that I have to either rewrite the post or the title.
The owls are cute, but flying birds terrify me,
David:
You’re not alone. There are even bleachers at the bird show reserved for those who are frightened. They’re off to the side and they don’t have the birds do fly overs (or close-ups) on that side. A LOT of people sat there.
Falcons are so beautiful, and the faces of owls are just amazing. They don’t really look real, you know?
Bob:
They’re all so fascinating. And you can possibly see where the imagery of ghosts came from when you see the faces of barn owls.
The birds are so beautiful. Owls are adorable and I have always loved owls.
We have several Hawks around this area.
cheers, parsnip
Parsnip:
Jerry and I used to love to go birding, which began for us in Connecticut. We would got on “Owl Prowls” with a group from our local Audubon shop. Magical!
Their feet always seems to be so neat and tidy.
Adam:
Well, these definitely get pedicures.
Your opening line made me flash on Mel Brooks in “History of the World,” where he, as Moses, comes down the mountain with three stone tablets. “I bring you these fifteen…” then he drops and breaks one of the tablets. “Er, ten, yes TEN commandments…”
Walt the Fourth:
I had completely forgotten that until you mentioned it, and I loved that scene. If it isn’t set to music, it doesn’t remain in my head!
I love owls. The first one I have never seen before; the other looks like the great horned owls of our neighborhood.
Urspo:
The barn owls looked drastically different as adults. The other does look a lot like a Great Horned Owl. It’s the “ears.”
