And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
We were out last night watching the owls. There's a freshly cut field down the road & they were working it hard. I reckon the dried corn I put out attracted lots of mice.
A youtube said they eat 7-8 mice every day. A large barn owl has taken up residency here a couple months ago and has gotten used to us to where we can walk to about 10 feet away from it. I like having it around.
My dad always liked having them around when we farmed. They were the only bird of prey he tolerated. He always chased hawks away from newly hatched pheasant and quail chicks. Barn owls were always welcome in any of our farm buildings.
Fantastic photo. I wonder what shutter speed.
ReplyDeleteI was blessed to see one of these up close many years ago but not in this beautiful pose. Magnificent!

with gear down. Gangly legs remind me of FA-18.
ReplyDeleteOwls are so majestic. But have you ever seen what they look like without their feathers? Its a hoot. (NPI)
