Just a few days ago my mother-in-law was asking me, "now that you are retired, do you think you will do bird photography?" and while I said something polite in response, my mind was thinking "I can't decide if birding or watching golf is more boring". Anyway, then a barred owl showed up just outside the window. We could clearly hear it calling "to-wit-to-woo" before we saw it. Bird photography is definitely better than watching golf. #Photography #Birds #BirdPhotography #BarredOwl #Owl

@NuanceRhymesWithOrange@mstdn.social Owls are intelligent. Why don’t you set up a little putting green on your back lawn with the little owl sized balls and clubs supplied? the owls will soon catch on. 😊🧐🦉🦉🦉

@NuanceRhymesWithOrange@mstdn.social I was told it's "Who cooks for you?" Which, while not being a good match for the sound, is more fun to remember.
