The Owl

Earlier this fall, The Hubs and I visited the World Bird Sanctuary here in St. Louis and saw some of the most gorgeous and, in some cases, endangered birds anywhere. The residents of the Sanctuary are there because they’ve been injured or for some reason cannot survive in the wild on their own. We got several fun pictures, but I particularly loved this guy:

Lone Elk Park & World Bird Sanctuary

This fellow was sitting quite a distance from the fence, high up in his habitat, and had no interest in coming out for a visit. He’s obviously too regal to be bothered with us peons. But, like an celebrity, he can’t hide from the paparazzi for long. LOL

(I would love for you to come back to visit, so please SUBSCRIBE using one of the buttons I have up there at the top on the left. And be sure to find me on Facebook for behind the scenes stuff and general goofiness. I’m on Twitter, too, but be warned – I have been known to accidentally tweet-bomb during baseball season!)
