The last three times I have gone to see the Barred Owls, I was only able to see one sleep. So, I am back to reality; I don't get to commune with the owls everytime I "want" to.
This is one of the two kids, quite interested in me and the dance I was doing to get closer.
Barred Owls
Barred owls are large owls with round heads and NO ear tufts. They are brownish-gray with brown and white bars across their chest. (That’s why they’re called "barred" owls.) Their legs are covered with feathers. The barred owls’ eyes are dark brown, while most other owls have yellow eyes. Their beaks are sharp, but very small, so they are almost covered up by facial feathers. Owls can see very well at night, but they can also see during the day.
They have a special inner eyelid which blocks bright sunlight - owl sunglasses! Most birds have eyes on their sides of their head. This helps them to see sideways and backwards. Owls, however, have both eyes in the front. This gives them good depth perception (helps them to tell how far away something is). Unfortunately, it means they can’t see sideways or backwards. To deal with this, owls can turn their head ALMOST all the way around. But they can’t spin their head in a full circle; their head would twist off!

Here are some interesting items in a vacant and decaying storefront. The mariachi band is often seen as displays in private yards and business settings. The saguaro cactus skeleton is highly valued. I have seen them for sale at desert nurseries and they are not inexpensive. I have to admit that I did not notice until posting this photo the painted characters at sidewalk level. The javelina in the tuxedo and top hat and his classy escort are pretty cool.
Back to cruddy weather today, overcast and drizzly.
Interesting bird behaviour at Gordon Gardens' pond: this male mallard was one of two faithfully following a very patient female around (I know, drakes and hens, but I can never be serious about anything called a drake...). She left the pond and sidled up to me, probably expecting torn up bread slices and the two chaps, including this very dapper one, followed. I felt a little guilty not having any slices of bread to offer and they made their way back to the water.

He couldn't make it. Why? Er..he said he wasn't feeling well. Too much er...time some spent er..back seat driving. I'm very eager to please you Sir. Suedes? Oh they didn't say anything to me about suede shoes. Don't you like brogues Sir? I can always take them off for you Sir. Oh yes and everything else I'm wearing. I'm a very fit young man Sir under these constricting clothes.
I'm still having fun going through old travel photos.. Nate and I found this little fella in Mexico City. Cuts quite a dashing figure...
