Snowstorm visitor

So we had our "big" snowstorm last night. I find it funny how the media tries to inflict panic on us. I'm all for weather updates, it is important to keep yourself informed and prepared, but it seems like every storm we have is the end all. Anyway, today while we were inside getting ready to venture out, my daughter spotted this guy flying across the yard and landing in the trees out back. Not the greatest pictures, but if you look in the middle of the frame, you can see a big grey blob. I don't know what kind of owl it is but he brought much excitement to our day. Very proud of her for keeping her eyes open and seeing something very special.

We watched him for about fifteen minutes or so and we let her bring the dogs out so she could say hi. Unfortunately he was already gone when she got them out there. She did have time to name him though, say hello to Wink. Great family day today. Hope you are safe and warm in our latest storm.
