Owl

I love walking through the chef's garden at night, especially when I can hear owls calling to each other from across the meadow. We have several owl boxes stationed around the garden that serve as a natural deterrent to the small animals who like to eat our vegetables. While I have always loved hearing the owls I have seldom seen one this close! I was able to take this picture just at dusk as the owl hunted at the edge of the forest.
