Up on the roof

I have just about wet myself twice this week! Walking out of my house to go to work just before sunrise, a Great Horned Owl dives off his perch on my roof...scaring me to death. After my initial fright, I am quickly restored to my natural fascination; admiring the coolness of a Great Horned Owl wanting to use my roof from which to hunt. All I ask is that it not leave its white-wash and sticky pellets.
