Paddled over to the Post Office...heard Hawk in Flicker Grove...but I was over across Bobcat Meadow in Artist Grove...book came....Owls in the Family by Farley Mowat...young readers' book...dont know if I ever outgrew young readers' book reading...always like the imagistic sentences..and this one has Great Horned Owls described very well!!

"We'll walk Indian file, boys," he said, "and quiet as mice. Tiptoe...Mustn't scare the owl away."
Well, that sounded all right, only you just can't walk quietly in a poplar bluff because of all the dead sticks underneath.
