In my far-flung travels, I have seen some very interesting wildlife — everything from elephants and emus to giraffes and killer whales. But one creature that stays with me to this day was a very impressive owl.
I came across this owl in Africa, deep in a Kenyan forest along a flowing stream. We had enjoyed a banner day of animal sightings, including lions, warthogs and rhinos. Finally, as evening approached, we looked up in a towering tree and saw this large owl.
It was ginger-brown in color and about 2-feet tall. It was a handsome bird, but I was somewhat disappointed we had not encountered a more iconic animal, maybe a leopard or at least a big monkey.
