Shy Owl’s Soap Box

I have lived in Ohio 99% of my life. Never before have I seen so many bluebirds. I spent the summer with the help of my PussyCat searching out bluebirds and their nests. Why? Who knows. But I found 11 nests within 20 miles of my home. I went from seeing the very first nesting pair between Camden and Oxford to seeing their little ones spread out. Along the way we found an oriole nest and of course lots of owls.
I am sad to say that we lost 2 barred owls and one barn owl to roadkill as far as I noticed. When driving along at dusk or dawn keep in mind that they are focused on food and not looking at you. Notice them please.
Anyhoot, as I looked for the spiritual message of bluebird, I found very little. It seems that most ancients didn’t really pay them mind. I did finally find a few teachings that associated bluebird with happiness and the pleasures of life. Finding happiness is often right smack in front of you if only you are willing to look for it.
