We have some owl's living in the woods behind our house. I love it because they do a great job of keeping all of the mice away. I got up one morning and went into the kitchen to get a drink of water and there was one of the owls sitting on top of my grill looking in the window at me. As soon as I realized what it was, it flew away. It was crazy! Great post! I like taking pictures of significant readings on my odometer as well.
