I was watching TV last night when I thought I heard something soft like breathing. It was distinct enough to warrant investigation and when I went out to the terrazzo I was surprised to see a very tiny owl sitting on the steel in the large openings. I tried to get a picture but my flash was not cooperating and just as I took it she turned and flew. I looked up in the direction she had gone only to now see two large pairs of eyes staring back at me from the top of a column just outside. I think the big one is an adult and the smaller a juvenile. They are tiny, the baby being about 5" high and the adult 7or8". These are the 2nd owls I have seen here and both this year.
Mama and baby....I hope they eat the toad that poops and pees in the terrazzo almost every night.
