WOOT!!! no... HOOT!!! (original) (raw)

04:28 pm - WOOT!!! no... HOOT!!!
I saw something wonderful today. As I walked home from the local DeMoulas market I saw what I thought at first was a decoration. It was sitting on the roof of a lawyers office some four stories up. The wind was at my back at this point so I had to pull my hair out of my face to get a closer look. Then it turned its head and not only proved itself to be real, but it also showed me the white patch on it's throat and ear tufts that showed me what it was. A Great Horned Owl. Made my day when a drunk looked up (perhaps to discern what I was looking at) and said "'sa fucking eagle!". Not quite buddy. I suppose a bird with an average 55" wingspan may give that impression after a few hits of Mad Dog, but nope, just a very big, and incredibly beautiful owl. What I would do to see a ton more of those. It finally got sick of being stared at I guess and flew across the street and out of view.
