I had the neatest experience on Thursday!
I had finished my first final and went into an empty classroom to study for my next one. I just happened to look up and saw something sittin' in the window. Walked over slowly, and there was this TINY owl warming himself in the sunshine! It must have felt REALLY REALLY good, his eyelids were getting quite droopy! I watched him for a few minutes and then moved the blinds for a better look. He noticed me and we held each other's gaze for a couple of minutes--What GORGEOUS EYES! He flew away soon after but I noticed he has a 'bracelet.'
The number read 214 (there may have been another number after the 4 but I couldn't see it) also the writing on the 'bracelet' said something like "THE BIRD----ashington" is all I could read. I assume 'ashington' was actually Washington.
Does anyone know anything about 'tagging' birds? Any way to track where this lil' guy is from?
Now:
While the Americans generally regard the owl as 'wise' the Native Americans see him as a symbol of death. Does this mean I aced or bombed my final?! lol :D :confused: :D
