I Heard There Were Storms Coming - a photo on Flickriver

This is how Frack greeted me at 7:17 am this morning. We have severe thunderstorms with possible large hail & tornados predicted for late this afternoon & evening. This owl house is in a protected spot on a large pecan tree trunk high up.
With her in the backyard house (no cameras & squirrel junk inside) I won't know if she is sitting on eggs, or we have any babies until a fuzzy little face peeks out several weeks from now. Fingers crossed.
