The Owl Is Having a Birthday

The owl is having a birthday. Big Whoop I say. It’s not like he’ll have it in the wake of day. He always has his parties when I am trying to sleep. Awakening me at the moment my slumber is deep. Why must he be nocturnal? I ask the gods. My head is already sleepy, I feel a few big nods. I drop off to sleep hoping he won’t wake me tonight. Of course he does – each time giving me a bigger fright.

Whooo! Whoo! Who? The owl, of course. We don't see many of them around here, but, as you point out, they are nocturnal. Beautiful in flight, I am told.

They are gorgeous sounding - I have one I hear but never see. My friend sees her barn owl.
