Tonight we were blessed with a rare occurrence. We saw a barred owl sitting in a tree across the street. We have only seen an owl one other time. I got my camera out and tried to get a shot so we could get a better look at it. It never moved other than his head turning. He just watched us from time to time as he listened for his prey.Later, as we were sitting in the house, Joe noticed that there were a couple of them flying in our neighbors yard (right beside us).
We all got up and looked and not only were there two flying around, but three! It was amazing to see three when in my life I had only rarely seen one at any time. It was too dark at that time to even attempt a picture. That would have been marvelous!

Several weeks ago a Peacock visited our patio. This bird was very tamed and adjusted to people and animals. He was so beauitful. He had a loud scream just before he would display his tail feathers.
He visited us for at least 2 hours or longer.
Where was my camera when I needed it? He finally perched on the back patio wall, slept,let me feed him, then off he flew.

Wow! what a view. We used to see such things when we were in the Horseshoe near Elizabethton. We do have a hawk that nests in one of our tall pitch pines. Hanging around during the Spring we see song birds, rats, rabbits that have fallen prey to the hawk.
