Haiku-A-Day December Challenge #7: Great Horned Owl
As I wrote about in yesterday's post, I have been paying a lot more attention to the every day birds I see in my city and neighborhood. To my delight, we have a Great Horned Owl in our neighborhood. Although I have not had the opportunity to actually see it yet, I hear the owl's calls on most early morning twilight walks with my dogs. I have heard the hoots in different locations through our neighborhood, causing me to wonder if the same owl made a new nest or if there are two different Great Horned Owls.
Here is today's Haiku:
Although I've never
spied you, I hear your rhythmic
call before dawn. Hoo.
Are you the same Great
Horned Owl who perched between the
nearby woods and church?
These are very Issa like with their address to animals! How amazing to have a Great Horned Owl in the neighborhood. It always feel like an especially good bird spotting day when I see an owl of any kind!
