Our Visitors from the North

And another thing that has been wonderful about the city this year has been the visit from Snowy owls. Contrary to many who think they migrate south because of global climate change, it's because lemmings are not very smart.  They breed like crazy, then crash, then breed, then crash.  And every year since time began, when the lemming population crashes, Snowy owls head south to find food.  So, there are two of them in my neighborhood!  It's very cool.

And when I say my neighborhood, I mean literally a block or so away.

They have been a spectacular way to enjoy this season.

Murphy's Day.
