Post 10 Random Facts About Yourself
RE: Post 10 Random Facts About Yourself
Whateverist the White

To say my mother was prudish would be an enormous understatement.  But it wasn't in a disdainful way, more like revulsion.  But I got to work through all that and it turns out my mother was missing out on some pretty good stuff.

***************************************************************************

Oh I see!  Sorry, I misunderstood.

yes, we've got lots of nice bird life to watch around here,
but I don't have anything like that view from your in-laws' place.  Stunning.

I saw the nest pic you were talking about, for the hummingbirds.  I do see what you mean.

We actually had a mated pair of Coopers' Hawks nesting in our backyard, last year.
They don't sound like other hawks.  Their call almost reminds me of a Hyena's laugh.

The Great Horned Owls were only passing through; they don't live in my backyard, sadly.
I only heard them that one night.

I wouldn't mind having them live around here, since we have a bit of a skunk problem around here
and owls are usually the only animals that don't hesitate to prey upon skunks.
I guess they have no sense of smell.

I heard the hooting, over the TV.  I muted the TV and listened; at first I thought it was a dog barking.

I saw them in the darkness, a mated pair, in the big Silver Maple tree,
only two big dark shapes against the night sky.

I went and woke my Dad, I knew he's be interested.
We stood there, whispering softly to each other,
listening to the owls.
 
Then Dad leaned in and said to me:

"By the way, you are accomplishing NOTHING by whispering.
Those birds can hear your heart beating. "

LOL  he's right, too.  They can hear mice moving under a foot or more of snow.

Suddenly the birds took flight, swooping down, right over our heads, flapped a few times, and were gone.

I would estimate their wingspan at about 4 or 5 feet across?

I felt the breeze as they passed.
