Merlin the Barred Owl [View all]

A pair of owls sometimes lives in the forest behind our house - rural Vashon. We call them Merlin when we see them. One day this summer Merlin landed on our porch. He also liked to land just outside of the catio and watch Midnight and Jasper...longingly lol.

Here he was outside my kitchen window.
