Christmas dinner

After church today Ralph and I went home and enjoyed some time spent opening our stockings and had a nice light lunch.  Tonight we have a dinner planned and wanted to make sure that we didn't spoil that.  I really wanted to go back and see the Owl again so after lunch we drove back to Schomberg.  Oh man, I was so thankful that we went.  Ralph decided not to bring his camera but didn't mind bringing me to shoot a few pictures.

Once again there was quite a few photographers there.  The Owl was flying around but kept mostly in the same area.  It was really interesting to see what he did with his "dinner" which we were told was a "Vole".  He would fly into a tree and place it in the "v" of the tree and then proceed to try to eat it. Ralph was talking with someone who shared that they eat the head off the Vole and then leave it for a period of time in the tree (to age I guess and become more flavourful).  Apparently the Ravens have been eating the "Voles hidden in the tree's" so this owl was pretty particular about where it was "hid".

This was such an awesome experience and I feel blessed to have been able to witness this.
