[Douglbirds] Owl & goose

[Lisa Crispin]

Gosh, that's really cool! We watched a Great Horned Owl eat a pigeon once
when we lived in Denver, all the neighbors on our block were transfixed.

I've been hearing more birdsong and wondering when most birds around here
start to build nests. I intended to get a couple of trees pruned this winter
and haven't done it yet, but now I'm afraid I'm too late and it would
disturb birds. Am I?
