Hooooot hoooooot

Spotted owls are pretty rare to see in Iowa. Especially tucked under your car in the park. During the summer of 2004 I was leaving a local disc golf course when a friend of mine suddenly noticed a little owl hanging out underneath the car. Curious, we were able to pick it up--he actually let us! and ended up bringing it home with us. Little did we know just how illegal it is to have this owl, as it is protected under the federal government. Dont worry, we got rid of it! I was catching up with an old friend this weekend when I was reminded of this story and had to dig through old photos to share with you--because it is that crazy!
