Earth Sanctuary: A Nature Reserve, Meditation Parkland and Sculpture Garden

This Grandfather tree snag is located on the Celestial Trail at Earth Sanctuary. When Michael Angelo was putting the colored ribbons around the tree, a Barred Owl poked its head out of one of the holes in the snag and then proceeded to watch Michael finish putting up the ribbons. At first, we weren’t sure what owl species it was, so Frances Wood and Yvonne Palka came over to the tree. Frances has a birding iPod with the bird calls of Western Birds. She played the Barred Owl call and the Barred Owl immediately returned its call and came over to see who they were.
