Well look WHO came a'calling this winter night!

While relaxing this evening watching a Laurel and Hardy short from days gone by, our doggie, Jack, was pestering my dear hubby to take him for their nightly walk.  Shortly after they went out the front door, DH came back saying there was a fluttering of wings in the bush outside.  We all ran out to see the cutest little Screech Owl perched on the edge of the neighbors' bush.  I had Drew run inside to grab the cameras and here is our little friend's picture on this snowy night.  

Because is was very dark, we didn't notice until I downloaded the pictures I took, that we interrupted this little owl's dinner of blue jay a la snow.  We often hear the eerie sounds of these owls at night, but this is the first time we have gotten to see one.  They are so cute...don't you think?
