Mama Owl pops out of her hole and leaves while we were talking about her. We get our owl thrills every day in the back yard.

Pipeliner Fly-By
The pipeliner flies by about once a week, looking for problems along the petroleum pipeline that goes through our timber. In the rare event that we would have equipment on or near the line, we call the operator so they can inform the pilot, rather than trigger alarm bells. We always enjoy seeing him go over.
