meet picard the owl
hannah might have three adorable kittens named spalding, kingsley, and windsor, but i have...
picard, the eastern screech owl.
nope, that isn't a baby owl - he's full grown.
isn't he adorable? well... the eyes are kinda creepy but...
okay, fine, hannah's kittens are still more adorable. i admit it.
he fell out of a tree in our backyard this afternoon for no apparent reason (bird suicide?), and was in shock on the ground. my mother and i took him to the audubon society's bird of prey center in maitland, where they explained that he might have some sort of problem like epilepsy, and they let us name him. at any rate, i got to hold a bird of prey in my own two hands, and that was a pretty kick-ass addition to my day. granted he was in shock, and unable to move, but still, it was cool...
