The Wise
Owl
  Ever since Bear
told me that it was the Wise Owl that allocated
day markers to the Osprey for nest building, I have been curious. I had no idea
that Big Bear was one of the Keepers of the Sacred Silence that protects, serves
and maintains the whereabouts of this rare and unique bird. Well all day I have
been pointing out owls to see if his eyes would give him away and I too would
know which one it was - but alas no. I asked Bear to look in the
National Geographic Field Guide to the Birds of North America - Owl section. All
he did was half heartedly look through the few pages and sort of point at the
Great Grey Owl. "But he lives in western America and in the north central, miles
from here" I remonstrated. Oh well maybe it’s the next
chap the Spotted Owl. "He doesn't live here either". By now I was
feeling the need to inflict pain on the skipper.
  Some owls are very camera shy and immediately turn away, a
sixth sense perhaps....
  
 I thought this last
chap was the likeliest candidate but not a flicker
from Big Bear
      I
pointed out loads of other stuff to see if he could be tricked into submission
and point him out, he did think the last chap was the Wise Rabbit who has a
similarly important role as the Wise Owl. He got a swift hot shoe attachment
round the back of the ears for that - after I pointed out that 'the rabbit' was
indeed a 'pecalin' - Oh Sorry.
 Well
then it happened, Bears face went ashen, grey and nipped. I looked at what had
alarmed him so - The Wise Owl had been
OWLNAPPED
 Our
last look as the terrified looking creature disappeared from
sight
ALL IN ALL A GRAVE DAY
