A few photos from an Estonian nature photographer. Owls are on of his speciality.

Taken in Texas, these juvenile owls came to the birdbath on a very hot day. (Look at how enormous their eyes are!)

We have had a family of owls living outside our window at night. One of them squawks, so although it looks big to us, it must be still a juvenile requesting food from mother. We have to close the window eventually, to get to sleep. We've tried to photograph them, but I don't know if they will turn out. They are living in an accidental ledges tucked away in a narrow vertical part of the building. We think they may be there in the day, hiding behind a big vertical pipe.

The Owl is recognized by Siberian Shamans as one of the great animal familiars, indeed Shamans with an owl spirit guide typically have powers of second sight and great sensitivity.

· The owl as power animal perceives truths that are veiled to many, thanks to its silent flight at night.

· An owl spirit guide is skilled in detecting untruths, thanks to its acute hearing which detects what others do not.

· The legendary intelligence of the owl is indeed a characteristic of the totem owl. A shaman with an owl spirit guide is an old soul with much wisdom thanks to this maturity.

· Thanks to its silent flight the owl power animal knows when to speak and when to keep its peace.

· The owl is a skilled hunter thanks to its great local knowledge. On a shamanic journey the owl spirit guide serves the Shaman with its detailed knowledge of the spiritual realm.

To the Siberian Shaman, the owl does indeed have many special qualities, though these are not to be feared as the owl is a noble and powerful spirit guide. Shamans fortunate enough to be blessed with an owl as power animal enjoy much wisdom and insight in their company on shamanic journeys.
