Out the window
This is decidedly not fiber-related, but very interesting anyway. This morning T2 (my middle child) asked me to come see the owl. What owl? The one outside his window!
It was waaaaay too far up the tree to get a better picture.
I also couldn’t get it to look my direction. I wanted to see its face. A few minutes after this picture was taken a pair of crows chased it out of the trees. We couldn’t find our bird ID books this morning. Does anyone know what kind of owl this is?

There are three species of owls common in Maine—the saw-whet, barred, and great horned owls. My guess is that this is a barred owl. I remember this from the Chewonki owl segment in one of their traveling natural history programs.
