๐Twas the week before Christmas, and perched on the tree was an unexpected visitor as majestic as can be! ๐
This beautiful Barred Owl decided to play Santa and drop in-literally-through the chimney of a local home, and declared himself the newest star on top of their Christmas tree (look closely - you'll see he knocked the old star over to make room for himself). Sgt Murray answered the call, gently capturing our feathered friend and safely releasing it back into the wild.
P.S. This is a great reminder to keep your chimneys capped this season to prevent curious critters from coming to visit!
There were lots of great comments, with many people posting their own accidental indie owl stories or owl ornamentation. Very fun post!
Well well! Aren't you lucky! Do you think he was trying to curry favor on the superbowl community? Or was it tacit approval of same? :)
Edit: Oh it's a quote! Ne'ermind. Probably just an advocate.
Not me, sadly! I just wanted to share a few of the comments from the FB thread without stealing their profile names.
They seem like they'd be fans of our club.
