It is a tradition for us to go bird watching in cemeteries on the Saturday before Halloween. There are some great birds in old cemeteries and usually a great variety of trees and landscaping. We had terrific fall weather and gorgeous trees to go along with our wonderful birds. We even had a Halloween Treat thanks to the sharp eyes of Clark Anderson.

Great Horned Owl
�Steve Frye
Great Horned Owl
 Our Halloween Treat this morning was finding this owl (thanks Clark). It was beautiful perched in among the fall leaves. Note the right eye of this owl has been  injured. A scar is visible over the eye. There is no telling how this bird was injured, but I am sure it is surviving just fine.
