Heading home the other day I spied something that I thought was a bird hanging from the wire. So Jim was kind enough to turn around for me to satisfy my curiosity. He does that for me a lot :)))
Well as we were coming up the the heavily vined pole, sure enough there was a beautiful owl hanging from the wire. Unfortunately I didn't have my zoom lens, but I was able to get some shots and figuring that I was planning to head to town later in the day I would grab my zoom lens and go back for some closer shots.
By the time I got back for some close up shots I saw the owl was no longer on the wire but had fallen down and got caught in the trees.
I was sick and saddened to see that this happen to this beautiful bird. I'm guessing the owl had gotten zapped when it landed on the wire.
I hope the owl's death was quick and sudden with no suffering. How sad.

That is so sad. I often wonder if birds are at risk when they line up on wires.
