Every day that I have ran in my new farmland territory I've been accompanied by my new friend the Barn Owl on every run. No matter if it was 2 miles or 8 miles, I run pass my predatory friend, My Barny at least once.
Don't get me wrong, I see and am surrounded by many other birds perched upon the wheat fields and appreciate the nature flow of the cardinal and finches but this is something totally cool and different. The first time I ran passed it I freaked out and called my wife to tell her. When I reached my halfway point and started running back I whipped out my phone to get the action shot of this awesome owl.
I've ran passed this guy at least a dozen times since our first meeting upon the brown cliffs of Farmland. But as I was coming back from this particular run I saw Barny balancing on the trees to my side, take off, wings spanned out and soared through the air to lightly land next to, not one, but two other Barn Owls. After all this time I thought it was my buddy, Barny who was accompanying me on my runs but in reality it was actually Barny & Friends who was keeping watch.
Now my next goal is to try tell them apart.
What do you see on your runs?
