I sneaked up on the sleeping owl. It opened one eye and looked at me, but then it fell back into a deep sleep. I approached it with my special all-canvas bird net, and it opened both eyes and looked to the left. I held the net to the right, and just as it swiveled its head around to see, I lurched forth with a swift and mighty sweep of the net and bagged the angry owl. It fell back asleep in the net, and I brought it outside for this photo. It walked out and looked around and flew off into a pine tree. People always believe that owls are wise, but nearly half of zoologists who have researched the matter disagree.
