Eurasian Eagle Owlet - Madrid

[Donkees]

On a recent trip to Madrid, we visited several Eurasian Eagle-Owl nests. This owlet and its sibling on the rooftop of an apartment building in the middle of a vibrant residential community.

Meet Paco the Eurasian Eagle-Owl. He is perching on a church steeple in a small town on the outskirts of Madrid. Not sure why the locals named him Paco, but I love that it rhymes with Flaco.

1. Such beautiful creatures!

I made a series of owls on bottles. I have dreams with owls in them, and the owls around here show up and sometimes stare at me lol. Our porch is a smorgasbord for them.

2. JacquelineUWS and David Lei were major Flaco photographers and are urban owl specialists

The Madrid trip will help them heal their grief. You are fortunate to still have Owls watching over you The ones I knew have disappeared as their trees were destroyed. The screech owl was the last one to say good-bye

3. I'm sorry the trees

and owls are gone for you. We haven't seen our owls in a few months, but they'll be back. We have two lots on this rural island, with the back lot wild with trees and critters. My murder of crows comes daily and calls me to come out and feed them. The squirrels jump into the feeder in front of the kitchen window to let me know they need more treats. The chickadees fly around my head when I feed them. So, I think Merlin and his companion will come back.

4. Your home is a peaceful sanctuary

I have a smaller version of your paradise, and rely on imagination to fill out the rest

5. It really is.

We're tucked away, just a block and a half from the beach. I have a myriad of health problems, so it's a Blessing for me. Here's Merlin from last year outside the kitchen window looking at me:

6. It's even more wonderful! Thank you so much for sharing Merlin ❤️
