Can you find Jupiter and Venus?
Jupiter and four moons
Jupiter and Venus are easier to see in the above photo.
The smaller owl was out of the tree on the ditchbank when Jake and I went on our early morning walk. Three coyotes were eyeing the owlet. I chased off the coyotes, ran home with Jake, grabbed a box, ran back, put the owl in the box, took it home, put it in the library, covered it and shut the door so the cats wouldn’t bother it. Luckily, Daddy Owl did not attack me, and Mama Owl was nowhere to be seen. I took the owlet to Animal Rescue in Albuquerque.

The three coyotes were playing on the ditch bank across the ditch from the owlet’s tree when Jake and I resumed our walk.
