Avimancy
We enter the parking lot at a time when I would normally be considering bed. The summer sun is just setting behind the Oquirrh Mountains, taking color with it. Nearby, aspen flutter in the falling light.
“Do you think it’ll be too windy to see the owls?” I ask Michael. Trees bend on the mountains before me, and I’m thinking about how the winds on the Salt Creek Marsh near Logan keep the burrowing owls in their holes. But Michael is confident it won’t be a problem.
