Great Horned Owl

Alberta, Canada

One of the perks of photographing abandoned structures is the possibility of finding creatures taking shelter within their walls. The Great Horned Owl commonly dwells in derelict buildings, and of course, I am always happy to discover one! It sure beats encountering pigeons who scare the doo-doo out of me when they unexpectedly fly out of windows.

            Let’s keep it simple, erm, how about a Screech Owl?

                       I'm afraid we don't get much call for Screech Owl....

            Not much call for it?! It’s the single most popular owl in the country!

                       Not 'round these parts!

                      Minahassa Masked Owl.  It's staggeringly popular.  Our number 1 seller.

                Ok, I’m game… Have you got any Minahassa Masked Owl? I’m expecting no.

                      I'll have a look sir....

      

      

      Mmmmmmm.... No.

                Predictable really… An act of pure optimisms to ask the question…

                  Me: Buffy Fishowl?

                  Shopkeep: Yes?

                  Me: Oh! Well, let’s see some of that!

                  Shopkeep: Oh! I thought you were talking to me, sir. Buffy Fishowl, that’s my name.
