Owl post

[Tracy]

If I ever get my letter accepting me to Hogwarts, I've already chosen 
my owl.  :-)  I volunteer at a wildlife rehab clinic, and we 
currently have a patient that everyone refers to as "the cutest owl 
ever".  She is a saw-whet owl, about 5 inches tall with huge yellow 
eyes.  Despite her tiny size she tries to act big and scary when I 
take her out of the cage for her treatments - hopping, flapping, and 
clacking her beak.  Here's a link to a photo of this species of owl:

Cute or what?!  They are small enough that when they sleep in the 
evergreens they resemble pine cones - good camouflage against 
predators.
