Out of Touch and Away from Reach

Nothing could be better than being out for my morning walk, going to my favorite park, and seeing crowds of people lined up with cameras, telescopes, and binoculars.
Wait — what in the world is going on?
They’re here to view the Great-horned owls and their 3 owlets high up in a giant mossy, white oak tree around 5–8 stories high.
They are impressive and, of course, beautiful. But they are also completely out of reach to the congregating masses who’ve been gathering daily for weeks in hopes of capturing a view of them.
It’s thrilling they’re nesting here again and even more satisfying they’re able to do it out of reach of any human contact or interference.
I love that!
Not everything needs to be tracked, measured, and tagged for research.
It’s refreshing simply seeing nature happening — like it’s supposed to.
