We had a great group at coffee this morning. Ted told an interesting story of seeing a Barred Owl by the pond near their house a few years ago. He had just obtained a book with battery powered bird calls. He had watched the Owl with binoculars from his deck to confirm its identity. When he pressed the Barred Owl "button" in his book, it took off immediately and headed right at him. The "call" was repeated and he had to duck as the big Owl came within about 6 feet of him. He also told of about 40 Turkey Vultures cleaning up the remains of a "fish kill" in his pond in three days a few years ago. Birds, Nature in general and, local current events are popular "agenda items". Ted's a Great Story Teller as well a Poet.
