    Thanks for the nomination, Alex. I do like to pride myself on originality:hattip:

    I would still like to know why the hooter is still flappin his jaw. It’s dark now, so justifiable but, all afternoon was like freakin water torture!

    more he is probably already hurt or a young owl calling his mother. Owls are usually silent, certainly during daylight hours when they typically sleep. I hope he’s ok.

    Professor,

    Thank you for your reply. NO, I wouldn’t have honestly thrown a sneaker at him as I love all living beings, furry and feathery.lol He/it, whatever, has been at it again today. I called my town and they told me I could call the Humane Society but, they said, if they did catch it, they would probalby put it down without even preforming any tests to see if it was ok. I can’t have that over my head so, have decided to bear with the hooter and let nature take it’s course. I just hope if it does flop out of the tree, it’s not in my yard. Had to bag up 3 possums and 2 cats that wandered into my yard this past year already. I have no choice as I do not need my old furkid catching anything from them. I’m not keen on dead things:(

    Lou,

    Don’t know wether to thank you or curse you out.lol I know alot of people in animal rescue as I have been involved in it (primarily dogs) for years now. I happened upon a person in my area who has an owl santuary about a bit over an hour from my house. They came here tonight and we just spent the past over 2 hours out in the pouring rain on ladders (which btw, scare the chit out of me) but, we managed to get the lil hoot.

    You were right, it was a lil baby. Apparently Mom took off:(

    Old and sick, I may not have worried about but, when you said it could be a baby looking for it’s Mother, it grabbed my heart.

    In short, the lil bambino is safe because of you. WTG Lou! You may have saved a life. If only just a feathery one:hattip:

    You use this topic to blow up your anger? that’s right, I’d like too.

    To some crooks, who robbed my earned money, you will pay it off, on this or that way, now or later.

    No, I do not think I was blowing off anger here. Perhaps in the beginning but, all worked out.

    Although, you can feel free to blow off anger here! Who robbed your money? I assume, affiliate earnins are what you are speking of? Please post so I or someone else can help you.

    Nice save M and L!

    owls are neat. They are natures “stealth glider”. They’re designed to fly in quiet mode.

    ten years or so back I was swinging out over the river we have out back on an old rope swing just as it was about to turn dark. At the peak of the swing’s arch out over the river I collided with something flying and I know it had to be an owl. They fly up and down the river like that in between the trees that grow on both sides. I never heard him coming and apparently he wasn’t expecting a human being to be flying out to broadside him over the river that time of night. He recovered (obviously) because I never heard him hit the water.

    Heres the BB i know and love! love the story!

    More….you have won my heart award for this month. I would of done the same thing, rain and all, actually, i did..lol….last 4th of july and found 7 baby raccoons all total that were motherless because of an animal trapper…4 of the 7 survived, but three did not and it broke my heart.

    You did something, and that i highly commend. i wish everyone would look out for things that just aren’t normal with animals, they could use all the help they can get from us now that we have taken away most of thier territory in some way or another.

    kudo’s to you my friend, you will be well rewared in the end.

    love

    More that’s great to hear :tongue:

    Even though it was a lot of work it was a noble effort and the world is a better place to have one little owl and a caring person like you. :hattip:

    Well Done!

    bb1,

    That story was too cool! Gotta watch out for low flying hoots:tongue:

    kudo’s to you my friend, you will be well rewared in the end.

    Trip,

    I have already been rewarded a thousand times over, I will assume from rescues I have done in the past. Primarily Chow dogs. I have lived with my “reward”, Alexander, for the past 6 years. I’ll try to make his story short but, it is hard.lol

    I was in a car accident back..holy crap! I just looked at the calander and it was EXACTLY 5 years ago, that I was in the accident, where I collided with a truck, my lil Hyundai rolled over about 4 times (witnesses said) and slid 3/4 of the way over a bridge with the car landing ontop of me. I had had my beloved chow, Ted E. Bear in the car with me. He ran from the accident. I was all forked up. They told me I would never walk again. That night, I have no idea how but got out of bed. I should have stayed in the hospital and was suppose to go on to rehab but……Ted E. Bear, my baby was all alone lost, Godd knows where. therefore, I released myself from the hospital. In retrospect, it hindered me physically but, in my heart, I feel I did the right thing. Everyday after I got back home, as I was not able to leave the house, I searched and searched for Ted E. on the internet. In May of 2002, in talking to hundreds of rescue orginazations, they informed me that the likelyhood of him being alive was nill. I missed him so much and was all alone:( During my daily searches, I kept running across this lil cutie pie chow mix, Alexnader. The poor guy was found as a mere pup, beated beyohnd belief and his tail chopped off. He had spent 6 years of his life in the shleter system which is unhear of! He is just such a good boy! Well, good old man now as, the end of May, 2002, I came to temds that I would never again find my Ted E. Bear so, I adopted Alexander.

    He was a bit skiddish but, after months together, he learned to trust, again. We got into a nice little pattern and were happy and content. THEN…in Sept. of 2002, I got a lead on my lost chow, Ted E. Bear. It turned out, he was in a shleter 1 1/2 away from me! I was freakin as I didn’t know how it would be as they do not suggest 2 male chows living together. Well…they did. Poor Ted E. passed away in 2004 as a result of seizures and Alexander and I still miss him terribly.

    I think I have been paid back for a lifetime but, will still continue to help the innocents.
