Those of you that enjoy our nature photos, we had a poacher today!


We have posted pictures of deer, mice, snakes, squirrels, possums, groundhogs, raccoons, dozens of different bird species, insects and more.

On June 30th I posted this: http://www.democraticunderground.com/10026926999

We heard 2-3 bird strikes on our glass wall upstairs and immediatly knew there was either an owl or hawk hunting in our back yard about 1/2 hour ago.

We have a pair of barred owls and a few hawks hunting our wildlife. This is the younger hunter in training. S/he was after our squirrel that eats out of our hand I posted about yesterday: http://www.democraticunderground.com/10027086520

Marta took these through our basement sliding glass door. S/he could hear us talking and could see the flash and didn't care.

X post in Birder & GD.

I can't believe the boldness of that owl, especially in daylight! What a beautiful bird!
Thanks for sharing...
