The usual work day goes by slowly for me, sometimes mixed up with random goings on around our little office. Well today wasn't just a little random going on, BP came running out of his office announcing that there was an owl right outside his window. Of course JG, My boss and I go running in to see. Lo and behold sitting right before us, in the middle of downtown, all non-chalantly perched upon a tree branch was a brown and white little owl. The cameras come out and the video cameras start to record the action, only the only action is the wind ruffling the birds feathers and the turning of the owls head, which if you have never ever seen an owl up close is an amazing sight to see. We were enthused but wanted more! So up the flight of stairs we go to the second floor windows to see if we can get a better look. Of course we do and it seems as if the owl is watching us too. Down below in the street we see people flocking out of their buildings for a look-see. Along with a very tall, very blonde male, photographing the whole scene with high priced cameras. My boss and I take to the roof yearning to get an even better look, and it was truly eye-catching the owl looked right at us and watched us move along the roof top towards him. He was spectacular, I was awe struck. We took pictures and just stood there gazing at him, hoping for a brief movement of head, a blinking of an eye, a preening of feathers and when they would occur the camera would start flashing. Next thing I know I'm heading to the door to bring the very tall, very blonde photographer to our roof to take some close ups of his own. He was from the Daily News on the way back to the office from a press conference when he noticed the commotion. After many, many pictures, he took down our names and we all headed back inside to leave the owl in peace. How awesome is that though!
