This is getting to be old hat, but I was back at Group Health today
and spent about 3 hours in the waiting room, most of the time watching
the Snowy across the street, still sitting on the same column it was two
weeks ago. (My father had a colonoscopy, and everything is fine! Yay!) I
brought my binoculars this time and what a sight. It spent most of the
time resting, but did a bit of preening, grooming and scratching. I swear
I saw a yawn, too, do birds yawn? Almost as much fun as watching the owl
was watching all the poor birders down on the street in the rain, snow,
hail, sleet and wind that's typical of March. A lot of Group Health
Workers came by to check as well, one woman stopped to check on "her owl"
The whole scene made a dull day much more bearable.
