I've posted a few times on the barn owls that have been hanging around the house lately. As a former city girl, I've enjoy seeing them up close. It got me thinking. I was raised in an area that was ALL concrete. The only area that was not concrete were the lawns in the suburbs I grew up in and at the neighborhood park. We didn't even have abandoned or vacant lots with dirt. It was strictly concrete and blacktop in my town. That might be what helps me appreciate my life up here in Gavilan Hills.
Well as I said, there's been more activity with the owls lately. A few nights ago two of them there squawking and carrying on, swooping down on each other and such. They circled over my driveway, garage and roof. I realized the next morning what the fight was over. We found half of a dead rat on the roof. My husband climbed up on the roof and kicked it off to the ground and I snapped the photo for your viewing pleasure. The dilema this raises is: 1) I love the owls but 2) they are hanging around our house because there is obviously a plentiful food source.
Such is country life....the mostly good with the occasional not so good.
