Snooty's Back in Town!

Our friend Snooty is back!!! He must've snuck back into town recently, as G has heard him several times in the morning, and saw him this am while she was on her morning run. Ok, to bring you up to speed, we have an owl that lives in our back yard named Hooty. He is a Great Horned Owl, and his call sound is hooo-hoooo. He looks mean, but is more of a lover than a fighter.


Here's a closeup of him, hanging out, and looking for some breakfast.








Hooty had a pretty good run of the place, until his "city slicker" cousin, Snooty showed up last year. Once we got to know him, we discovered he was kind of stuck-up, and didn't want anything to do with the relatively simple life of Hooty. Snooty is a barred owl, and his call sounds like "who-cooks-for-you". I kid you not, that is what he really says!

Here's a shot of Snooty. He's kind-of aloof to us simple folk.











We haven't heard from Snooty almost all winter, so I figured he packed his bags, and went back to the city. The city life must've worn on him, so he's back now! I think that's pretty cool news! The only problem with the arrangement, is that he brought his twin brother back with him. His name is Tooty, and I'll let you guess why...........
