Nature: see our Saw Whet Owl!

I didn’t see nature study happening this past week. We had a snowstorm and it was so cold… Wed and Thursday night we had a little owl sitting on our porch hunting for mice. I got a good photo because I was prepared!

I quietly opened the back door and snapped a photo! I posted a photo on our homeschoolblogger.povertyknoll.com but I’m told the photos don’t appear.

I know the photo is on our other blog:

With the help of others on homeschoolshare we identified the owl as a Saw whet owl!!

We have nesting Great Horns, and Red Tailed Hawks in our backyard, 2 playful squirrels, and other creatures; but these are our favorite!

PS…the stinker squirrel drug a baby blanket up to the tip top of the tree to snuggle around her nest!! Just glad it wasn’t one I needed to keep! I couldn’t believe it!
