Some possible IDs of 1st treat!: Some say frog, some say Emu!
Dodgers: Furry spined Bird Frog!
Kpanda; Could be a Chupacabra!
CK : or a baby chupacabra, which can be the cutest thing ever
hjd85: They spotted one of those over by our sewage treatment plant not long ago....
KCDenver: a rodent with the spine exposed! Very odd looking!
KSBORN) Frog legs, yum!
CrinksMom: A furry chicken frog?
owgle: Frog bird or birgo, but it was not a weasel
SLCBirder: Yikes! Have the taxonomy people heard about this?
dyamond3tobefree: Quetzalcoatl- has the meaning of Feathered-Serpent!
Lisalassie: Im positive it had a rodent tail!
CK: Waiting for the girls to play "slug-bug"
hjd85: my toad is on my deck so it wasn't mine!
CuteLibby: Never had frog legs myself
Bluenoter: Was it breaded and sauteed with some lemon?
CK: Dinner was half-frog, with a side of hork
Dodgers: With Balsamic Vinegar, courtesy of Couleedam
MooleyJones: Whatever it was, it still had a piece of grass in its claw
This in from LoneStarStateTx:

"But the legs also look strange... not exactly like the gopher-rodent-mouse-rat group. Note how the one on right is sorta "curvey", or even has a lower joint, not straight and stiff like the rodent group I just mentioned. And look at the very strange feet. Almost could look like some kind of "amphibian" legs although I know this is pretty far out. COULD we have actually had a big frog or something in that "group"?? Those that saw it-- did you see FUR?? "

and finally...
Owlgle: LOL its dead now

SusanHu notes that we are celebrating 100 days at The Hideout!

100 days ago Roy claimed the Hideout from Bonnie and Clyde. He deeted and danced his way into Dale's heart. Black Betty brought intrigue and excitement hoping to entice Roy to be her mate. Roy and Dale bonded. The Hideout got a mister. Seven wonderful eggs were layed. Five beautiful owlets hatched. Sadly, Zee, Wyatt and Boone went to fly at the Rainbow Bridge with Jesse, along with Fred, who did not hatch. Belle and Pearl have grown into beautiful owltlets, stepping into the outside world of wonder and will soon fledge...what awaits the Hideout next? More wondrous and exciting owl adventures! Thank you SusanHu!

Hundon asks: How about one of these Sport-Cam Helmet Cameras for Fledging, OCG?!

(Last Night)September 12th: Pearl watches as Belle slowly shreds then finishes off her "secret" pantry treat! What did you expect Pearl - now really! She didn't seem too upset - probably too full from her other two treats! Caption and Video by Owlfinn!

12 barn owl fascinating facts

Discover 12 fascinating facts about the beautiful barn owl.
1 The barn owl was voted Britain’s favourite farmland bird by the public in an RSPB poll in July 2007.
2 Historically, the barn owl was Britain’s most common owl species, but today only one farm in about 75 can boast a barn owl nest.
3 Barn owls screech, not hoot (that’s tawny owls).
4 The barn owl can fly almost silently. This enables it to hear the slightest sounds made by its rodent prey hidden in deep vegetation while it’s flying up to three metres overhead.
5 The barn owl’s heart-shaped face collects sound in the same way as human ears. Its hearing is the most sensitive of any creature tested.
6 Barn owls are non-territorial. Adults live in overlapping home ranges, each one covering approximately 5,000 hectares. That’s a staggering 12,500 acres or 7,100 football pitches!
7 It’s not uncommon for barn owl chicks in the nest to feed each other. This behaviour is incredibly rare in birds.
8 In order to live and breed, a pair of barn owls needs to eat around 5,000 prey items a year. These are mainly field voles, wood mice, and common shrews.
9 Though barn owls are capable of producing three broods of five to seven young each year, most breed only once and produce, on average, only two and a half young. 29 per cent of nests produce no young at all.
10 91 per cent of barn owls post-mortemed were found to contain rat poison. Some owls die as a direct result of consuming rodenticides, but most contain sub-lethal doses. The effects of this remain unknown.
11 In a typical year, around 3,000 juvenile barn owls are killed on Britain’s motorways, dual carriageways and other trunk roads. That’s about a third of all the young that fledge.
12 Everyone can help barn owls. Leave a patch of rough grassland to grow wild thus creating habitat for voles, erect a super-safe deep nest box, volunteer for your local barn owl group, switch to non-toxic rodent control
