The Fish Thief


This is one of the pair of Owls that cleaned out our fish pond. They both allow us to get close and even seem to pose. I always thought owls were nocturnal but these are active all day.
We have a yard full of pesky chipmunks that we would love for them to put on their menu.
Our whole yard, I'm afraid, has been undermined by the cute little vermin and I've trapped many but don't have the heart to kill them. I usually take them to some near by woods so they can start a new colony.
I suppose the owls do catch some but the fish were so much easier to nab.

This is unbelievable. Thank God you bought a camera! It is amazing that you were able to get such a good, closeup picture.
