"Who Who Cooks for You!"

Our Barred Owl from our deck this morning hiding behind the leaves and branches in the darkest part of the tree... pardon the high ISO and manual focus.

It was definitely more interested in the squirrels that were sounding off alarms than our bagels with cream cheese...

We hear both Barred and GHOs but they are very hard to spot in the tall fir trees and leafy maples. We got images from multiple angles on this #Owl

Looking out our kitchen window while making coffee today.. guess who we spotted watching us! A Barred Owl!

Another peaceful day in the middle of #Portland #oregon #pdx We spent 45 min with this #Owl so more images soon!

Our from-scratch gourmet dinner: seared rare Duck Breast over Wild Rice and with an Oregon Tayberry sauce... enjoyed with an Italian Nebbiolo.

Thank you! It was a very cooperative subject!

YouTube video by Reagan Library President Reagan's Radio Address on Free and Fair Trade on April 25, 1987

I never thought I would be posting this President's speech... but it's worth a listen to understand how far we have come.
