Postcard feature: Owl and moon

Jesse was excited to see his postcard in the mail today! This, he tells me, is a picture of an owl in the moon, which he drew because he loves birds.

Yesterday a nighthawk sat on our new chicken fence for thirty minutes in broad daylight.

Before the moment Anna came in to shout at me in electric whispers that it was there, I had never seen a nighthawk except in the air, at twilight, its white wing-stripes and sharp peent peent peent clearly telling me that's what I was seeing.

They are so much more interesting up close.

People are much more interesting up close! Even a short note like this one lets us feel connected to the person who found the postcard.  The finder said simply, "Very Very Very cool artwork.  Found in a book @ Central Library downtown PDX.  Peace!"

Peace to you, and thank you, finder of Owl and Moon, for sending Jesse's card back to us.

Here's our nighthawk visitor from yesterday morning:
