Saw a Committee of Vultures today.

BTW, there is a Great Horned Owl outside my window. I hope he/she moves on before I go to bed.

1. If you don't mind... where do you live?

Turkey Vultures can be found everywhere. But a Great Horned Owl outside of your window is a special sight.

3. Lexington, Ky

I recognized the owl by its call.

5. I live in Indiana.

One of the great surprises in moving here is the shocking amount of wildlife. The first wild Bald Eagles I ever saw in my life were in Indiana.


In fact I had a "streak" going where I would see them yearly on the hwy on my way to work. (A 5 year streak that was broken this past year).


Believe it or not, we also have Snowy Owls. In fact the Indianapolis Star did a story on it not to long ago.

Below is a picture of a Bald Eagle that was taken right outside the Indianapolis Zoo in downtown Indianapolis

6. There must be a river or lake nearby for the eagle.

The only wild life I ever saw in Indiana was a redneck party in south east Indiana.

2. The Owl should move. He needs to get to work, finding food for himself.

Unless he is waiting for a gub'mint handout of a couple of food stamps so he can buy himself some mice.

4. It finally did move. It always does.

I get a Cooper's Hawk every now and then. It has displaced the Red Tail.
