Driving along the country, MyMrMallory and I came upon an owl's nest in a gnarly tree.
She decorates her nest with mistletoe.
One can barely discern her large owl "ears."
Upon spotting our truck, she lept -- and what a magnificent leap -- out of her nest and away from us.
We explored her country. She lives on a ridge overlooking North Texas,
where the agave and prickly pear cacti prepare to bloom. (I can hardly wait.)
Deer jostle at a pond near her nest, as shown by our wild-cams.
I stopped to make a photo of the sedimentary rock common in her neighborhood.
Nearby, too, stand pumps, busily extracting oil, where abandoned pipes oxidize,
around which the hardy and sweet deer step.
