Snowy owl

So the poor animal very soon disappeared.

My grandfather's companion was a ferocious bird, Harfang, of which at first I had a perfect horror.

But this creature, in spite of my dislike to it, took such a strong affection for me that I could not help returning it.

It even obeyed me better than its master, which used to make me quite uneasy, for my grandfather was jealous.

Harfang and I did not dare to let him see us much together.

We both knew it would be dangerous.

But I am talking too much about myself.

He proclaimed himself king of darkness and flame, and when he heard your tools at work on coal beds which he considered entirely his own, he became furious and beat me cruelly.

Well, when the barred owls first started, like arrived at Kleinstock, because they used to not be there until the woods kind of matured in about like 2009, I think, was one of the first records.

Someone kept reporting a snowy owl.

It was like March, I think.

And I kept going, that's got to be that barred owl.

I don't know what they're talking about.

And then someone said they found a dead snowy owl.

And I was like,

oh, really? Oh, boy.
