Interesting Thing About My Owl Drawing

Coincidence or not this is as true as it could be.  One day, not to long ago,  I drew this owl in the snow.  I didn't even know what kind of owl it was. I didn't even look at an owl when I drew it.  I just decided to draw it in the snow.  He looks cold and lonely doesn't he?  

A week past by and it started to snow.  When night time came I was working on my blogs and I heard something.  I realized it was an owl out in the snow.  I heard it a few times and wondered if someone was playing a trick.  

It was very cold outside and it was late.  No one in their right mind would be out in the cold at night.  But on he sounded, ooo, ooo, ooo.
​
I decided to look  on the internet for audio on the sounds of different owls and was able to identify what kind of owl it was.  Not only that but the owl looked just like my picture.  It was the Great Horned Owl.
I heard him for several nights. Once at 3 o'clock in the morning.  

This past week we had our neighbors over for dinner.  I was telling her how I drew an owl in the snow and how a week later it seemed to actually happen.  She told me she also heard the owl one night and even heard it rustling around.  I was very happy to know she heard it too.  

I explained to her that I have lived here about eight years and never once heard an owl until I drew one.  She laughed and asked me if I would draw her a box of money.  I just laughed and we went on to the next topic.

This owl seems to like cold weather and is looking for a mate.  I hope that He does find a mate and we have a whole nest full of owl babies.
