Owls are wonderful birds to watch....they can get pretty big and are very graceful. When I was a teenager, we moved from Point Loma (in San Diego) out to the country (Lakeside) about 40 miles from San Diego. My Dad bought a 10 acre property with a huge ranch home, swimming pool and horse corrals. It was a dream to live there for an animal lover. We had deer in our valley, coyotes, a rare mountain lion, road runners, pheasants, owls, hawks, bats, and rattle snakes (I know how to use a hoe!!! LOL).

We had a pair of huge white owls that lived in one of the big oak trees on the property. It was eerie to see them come out a night cause they were huge and white and would fly up around the pool. Lots of time me and my sister and my Mom would be swimming at night and the owls would be swooping around. The scary times were when the bats swooped down into the pool for a drink and we were swimming.

Owls are inquisitive and I think they must live close to you and find your yard interesting. Maybe they appreciate your bringing the spirit out in those logs. You should feel honored that they visit you, they should bring you good luck. Here is a nice article about animal totems and the messenger spirit of owls. http://wolfs_moon.tripod.com/OwlTotem.html

Thanks for posting the tiki that shared your owl visit. :tiki:

FATIMA BLUSH: Oh, how reckless of me. I made you all wet.
JAMES BOND: Yes, but my martini is still dry.
