A family of Great Horned Owls made a nest site in a old brick building, That brick building was the old Lithia Brewing Company in downtown West Bend, WI.
The birds made home to a old air vent and had 3 owlets that year. The building is now tore down, The birds have moved on. I was lucky enough to watch them grow up from small white fuzz balls to flying out into the new world.
Doesn’t look abandoned to me.
If they nest there a few more year, I think they can file for the deed and take legal ownership!
If they get the brewing operation set up and running again, then I will be completely impressed.
Now it’s a WHOery
Good one!
Anyone looking to meet some raptors in person should check their local
brewery’swhoery’s events page. Once it gets to spring/summer, so many rescues will have Hoo 'n Brew raptor events at them where you can see some neat birds of prey up close.Drunken Raptors sounds like an awful-but-amazing take of Jurassic Park!
Worst. Soccer Team. Evar.
Not sure if that’s exactly how that works. Bring a sacrificial hat just in case to guard your scalp.
Middle owl: “coffee please.”
I got this stuff when I went to the Smoky Mountains. Seems it could do the job here!
Literally laughed aloud! What a treasure, today.
Glad to add some laughs to your day!
I recall it seemed very serviceable for grocery store coffee. The bags all have different wide eyed animals like a squirrel, hippo, donkey, and pufferfish.
America needs more fun packaging. I’m always jealous when I go to the Asian mega market and all the packages look so happy!
