Sorry I've been gone!

I am very sorry I have missed some posts! (Okay, a lot of posts) I have been very busy with school and I just moved, so I hope you people reading will forgive me. I will try to have everything set up by next friday so I can post more often. Please look at the polls at the bottom of the blog, as you can choose what owl goes next week(s). Owls are awesome birds, so don't forget to check my blog for updates and information!

The Owl

The Owl

By: Lauren A.

The Owl stares down silently,

 Hopping on the branch excitedly,

The Owl stops, suddenly staring,

It's eyes gleaming.

The mouse, it spies,

Swooping down, it hoots, it cries.

Catching the mouse, it flies to it's perch,

It lands steadily, and with a lurch,

It eats the mouse whole.

The Owl then turns it's head,

It sees me and I know I am dead,

When suddenly it lifts off, I gasp,

It lands on me, my head in its grasp.

It stares at me, and me at it,

And I know that it wouldn't hurt me.

This majestic bird, on top of my head,

The wonders it holds, the beauty it possesses,

I just can't imagine the world without,

The Owl.

Random Fact

Most owls don't really make the hooting noise, "Hoo, Hoo!" That everyone thinks they do. Some species like the Barn owl and the Snowy owl, make screeching noises. Other owls make a "Coo, Coo" noise much like a dove. Only a few owls make the "Hoo" noise of which many people think all owls do. The Barred owl makes that noise, and no others that I can think of.
