Spirit Animal – Owl Family

Sometimes we are gifted with a chance to be with Mother Nature and her babies and her charges.  This was my luck several days ago when I saw this baby owl on a log in the park in the center of the woods where the dogs and I walk. 

Her mother watched over us as we chatted.

Mom actually let me get quite close to the baby.  She even let me watch her feed baby a black bird.  I chose not to take pictures of that feeding. 

Pretty soon, Dad came along.  He was more subtle in watching us, and he gave Mom a chance to go hunting.  He is quite hard to see in his camouflage.

I know that I am truly blessed to have three owls present themselves to me in one day.
