Owl in our back yard

A few days ago I saw a big bird swoop through our back yard - it turned out to be a young owl. It was hard to see at first - it's very well camouflaged against the bark of the trees. The really strange thing was that a bunch of hummingbirds were hovering only a foot or so away from it and several other small birds were hopping around branches nearby. It's like they were all curious what this little owl was doing up and about during the day.

Dug up the yard and planting a garden

Finally got motivated and dug up part of the front yard and made a small garden spot. Starting with potatoes for now, will need to go get starters for other things. Hopefully we'll get pumpkins going strong this year.
