Owls
A nest of great horned owls, with two or three babies, is in the cemetery behind our house. The mom and dad were staring right at me as I looked at them through my binoculars. They were amazing! I've been trying to get some photos, but they are too high up the tree. Today I talked with a photographer that was hanging out by the tree, and he directed me to these photos online:

They are much larger than I expected them to be! The babies are funny looking, but the adults are beautiful! |

Is this a public cemetery, or just where you dump the bodies of people that remind you of Rush Limbaugh or Ann Coulter?

Public cemetery. All the Irish mafia dudes and Republicans are buried across the street.
Actually, it's a beautiful cemetery -- one of the largest in the world.

Nature adapts to what man provides them. I am sure the cemetery has low traffic most of the time.
Hope all the little ones make it.
Cool pics.
