That’s pretty cool, I like that. I recently saw some GHO’s out in the desert, three big white puffy owlet’s and a darker, older male or female I am not sure which.
Coyote’s are starting to slowly make their presence known again out in our neighborhoods, yipping and howling and scat on the sidewalks and canyons.

That’s a great sketch. The owlet has so much personality!

We just returned from seeing a Picasso exhibit. Picasso’s goats are fabulous beyond belief, but his owl in that exhibit comes nowhere close to Courtney’s!!

Great!
