At six a. m, as I stepped outside, my eyes were just getting adjusted to the dark when, out of the corner of my eye, I noticed a dark form rise from the ground and perch on a low branch of the large maple. It was an owl the size of a barred or great horned! It stayed quite a while, possibly sizing up my small dog nearby as prey. It was too dark to be sure which owl it might be and didn't call before silently flying away through the neighbor's backyard. Still, a wonderful beginning for 2025!
