Urban Owl

Urban Owl 1 – C. Hamsher – January 17, 2008

The modern lady had told me she seen an owl about in Downtown Charleston and I got a chance to see this wonderful bird for myself today.

We have been told by someone who also spends a great deal of time downtown that he believes this is the same owl that wintered here last year. I vaguely remember hearing about it then but never witnessed it. Today I had the fortune of coming upon him (her?) with camera in hand.

He certainly seems to be content where he is although it kept a close eye on me as a shot these photos.

I have noticed a sharp decline in squirrels and pigeons around the area!
