Thanks Karen and Telse! I'm not sure how he gets in there Telse, he looks stuffed in that position, but it's not like he can back up into the pipe like that. So he had to turn around somewhere. I don't get it lol
What the heck is he doing in there? Well, it looks comfy enough. Cute.
I wondered what he does when it rains too, Leanne! They are having a bad drought down there though, which I guess is good for this cute little guy, but not so much for everything else!
That is so cute! I hope it doesn't rain and disturb him :)
Thanks J, Victoria, and Christy! And Christy, we just saw someone taking pictures of the building and were wondering why he was doing that, but then we looked over and we were like Oh! Owl! Was pretty cool :)
Ashley, that's adorable!!! How on earth did you find him??? Great catch!!
