The poplars are still leafless, so you can see many nests.  As we walked to the end of the farm, I looked up and spotted a giant owl sitting just below one of the nests.  Sadly I didn’t have my camera open and in my hand.  Before I got it all together I watched that majestic bird fly away.  What a wing span! I really can’t get over how many birds we have living with us here at Eatwell.  I was never a fan of our winged friends (that dates back to early childhood trauma), but my love is quickly growing.  The owls and hawks are great because they help us reduce the rodent population.  With the amount of ground squirrels we have, we can use all the help we can get.
