Morning...was out the front of the house last night around midnight..was waiting on the cat who was having a creep around..

Beautiful night, clear sky, full moon, satellites flying over head and very crisp and cold...

I heard a strange noise in my backyard up the gumtree..I ignored it then it I heard it again..sounded like something cracking...ruled out koala and possum..

So got the torch and went out and had a look.. it was a Tawny Frog Mouth sort of an Owl..never had one in my yard before and only seen one in my life time..

He was sitting on the branch dead still as they do, to look like tree branches and stumps hunting..

I felt very privileged with the visit..

In Aboriginal lore they are regarded as night guardians and keeper of balance and secrets who links the land and sky..

Not my photos unfortunately...

I was sitting at my computer in my office here at home last month when these two landed on the railing of the balcony.  They are Great Horned Owls.  I grabbed my phone and took a lot of photos since they stayed around for quite a while.  I took the photo through the sliding glass door.  We hear owls in our yard at night often, and I have occasionally seen one, but never as up close as this.  It was a pretty amazing experience. The owl on the left is the male and the larger one of the right is the female.

the biggest bird I've ever seen in CO was an owl. so big that I pulled over to stare at it. larger than any of the bald eagles I've seen locally.

I had to do a double take on the lower picture, since it looked like a chunk of bark ...

Morning..that's the whole idea excellent camoflauge...

They stay like that for hours dead still and you could walk right by them and wouldn't know they are there.. rarely do you see them this is the second one in my life time..

And they are harmless...

Mum and bubs..

Hmmmhhh you're only jealous because you have such boring and mundane fauna there..

Bears, moose, elk, raccoons..not even a decent bite amongst the lot of them other than the occasional bear attack..

Our flora and fauna is very unique, just like us..🐨

No run of the mill stuff here..and you have to admit we do it so well..😁

Your cassowaries have some colorful plumage but you have to admit they are butt ugly.

By the way, moose can be very dangerous and attack humans if they feel threatened or are protecting their young.  It's extremely rare, but you can get killed by a moose attack.

Morning..Yes they are quite evil looking birds and you don't want to mess with them or their claws..

I heard about your Moose and the Bison with the guy the other week he certainly went up in the air..did him some damage too..

Think the cassowary claws could be on par with bear??

We are "foreign feral free" just the way we like it..

It looks like the Yanks vs. Aussies battle is really heating up on here, so this is a good time to call a temporary ceasefire.  We will try to negotiate something and see you all next time.  Thanks to everyone who contributed and commented!
