New Owls for the Christmas Tree

DSCN0131
The Wright-Finn Christmas tree has a trio of new owls roosting on it this year, thanks to daughter Corie.

We decorated it last night DSCN0140(one of the new owls is pictured above; ID help would be appreciated).

My column for The Record about our mostly bird-ornament tree is here

rnaments make a lot more sense than most decorations I see in stores. After all, what does a Yankees or Jets insignia — or Mickey Mouse or a Dunkin Donuts logo — have to do with the winter holidays? – See more at: http://www.northjersey.com/recreation/135230333_Bird_ornaments_adorn_family_tree.html?page=all#sthash.RWcPCcvh.dpuf

Folks may scoff, but I think the avian ornaments make a lot more sense than most decorations I see in stores. After all, what does a Yankees or Jets insignia — or Mickey Mouse or a Dunkin Donuts logo — have to do with the winter holidays? A relative once gave me an ornament that was a miniature pool cue and eight ball. Now that says Christmas!

Seriously, does any ornament except for birds on a tree really make sense — or by extension, squirrels and chipmunks and an occasional raccoon?

Our cat Pook (on right) likes the bird tree a lot, but then she loves looking at birds of every feather.

Column on Pook the birder is here.

    I have enjoyed reading about the Celery Farm. I am not up to walking the property, so I enjoy the photos and descriptions. Thank you. Happy New Year.

  • I think your new ornament is a member of the Owl Be Home for Christmas family. Merry Christmas and thanks for all the wonderful blog posts throughout the year.
