In like a lion
True to the saying today
Snow, wind, ice return

Visits the same maple tree
Where we first met him

Color image of a barred owl perched in a a maple tree in Bath Township, Summit County, Ohio, UISA. We call him Shakespeare because he is a barred owl We've known him for a while - we rescued him a few years back, as he'd injured a wing and was by the base of this tree he frequented. We took him to the local vet, who stabilized his injury and transferred him to a raptor rehabilitation facility a county away. He was released when he recovered there, and after a few months, he returned to our place some 30 miles from where he was released.

February's ebb
Tomorrow's the month's closer
Marching into spring
