One of many photos of various Great Gray Owls and owlets that I hadn't uploaded. This youngster is one of four owlets, and the photo was taken on 4 July 2012, the day before three of the siblings were banded by a licenced Owl Bander. Thank goodness for powerful zoom!

Today, I am finally getting eight windows and my patio door replaced, so it will be a long day for the contractors, and for me : ) I'm sure they will be so glad when they have finished all mine, as I am the last place to be done. I'm kind of hoping that it doesn't flow over to tomorrow, too, but we'll have to see. Also really hoping that it doesn't rain on either day, as it would have to be postponed yet again. I can't wait to have windows that can finally be opened after all these years, especially at the moment, as it is unbearably hot and humid.
