THANK YOU---For helping that saw-whet owl.

Great pics!

Watching an owl is a real treat. Nothing beats seeing one in the woods and its head rotating all the way around as it watches you walk past.

I have been fascinated with them since I was a kid - my grandmother really liked them and had a large one "stuffed". Apparently it had flown in front of my grandfather and grandmother's car and been killed. So they took it to an uncle who was a taxidermist and he did a fantastic mount.

My neighbor called one day and asked for help, she thought there was something in the chimney. I was ready to do battle with an angry racoon but it was a merganser [they sometimes nest in trees like a wood duck] . Totally black with soot , the merganser immediately flew across the river when I took it outside, none the worst for wear !

Thanks for the pics. My kids loved them... and they've been searching all winter to catch a glimpse of one - no luck. Now they have.

Thanks Eric!
