Western Screech Owl
By Laurel Strohmeyer
The good news is Lilly’s 3rd & 4th eggs hatched yesterday (April 24, 2018), the bad news, she was taken by a predator at 3:15 this morning and managed to escape. This one is difficult to watch, but thank God she escaped, seemingly unharmed! Me, on the other hand, I am completely traumatized! I love these owls! Laurel

As an artist with an insatiable curiosity for wildlife and a love of nature, Laurel enjoys both landscape and wildlife photography. She considers herself a wildlife biographer. “Whether I’m shooting a band of horses, a family of owls, or a breathtaking sunrise, it’s the “Feeling of a complete union with nature, where for a moment, nothing else exists ” that I hope to bring to others with my work.” Laurel’s work can be seen at https://laurelstrohmeyer.smugmug.com/
