OK, well we all know that I'm obsessed with owls...This has to be the highlight of my summer. Sitting with us here is Artemis, the Eagle Owl. We paid a fee for the photo op, and I got to sit next to Artemis for about 30 seconds or so. I did get a chance to look into his amazing, bright eyes and when the handler set him on the stand there he stretched his wings and they lightly dusted my neck. I think we'll do a series over the next few years, me and the boy and a bird of prey at the "Birds of Prey Booth" at the Fair every year. Next year we'll do the Barn Owl. I can hardly wait!!
