Today was my lucky day. I saw an owl. I didn't get a good long look at it. I wouldn't have seen it at all except the crows pointed it out. Two crows were having a conniption fit. They were loudly cawing and dive bombing a fair sized bird at the top of a bare tree. I thought it could be a red tailed hawk because I've seen red tailed hawks on that tree before but this bird had a thick neck and a round head. The crow flew nearer to it and the owl hunched down it's head to protect itself. This was an important discovery! A barred owl at noon right along the highway? I am amazed. If only I wasn't merging west on Highway 10 from Hanson Boulevard I could have slowed down and enjoyed a better look at it.
