An Intruder of the ClubHouse

Dillon and Faith have journeyed far enough up "the trail" behind the house to find a perfect place (still in view of the house) to build the ultimate Club House. They have spent endless evenings working on their new found hobby. After a month, they have finished the floor. They look for odd things lying around that will benefit their endeavor. Anything from scrap wood, to a thrown out rug. The only rule that John and I imposed upon them. . .nothing is left up there after their work is done for the day. So right now, there is a wood floor. (pictures to follow at a later date) We aren't sure how they are going to construct walls and have yet to inquire. We want to see where their imagination leads them. It's so neat to watch them work together and actually get along (sometimes a rare sight) all the while building their perfect clubhouse.
Today, Dillon and Faith decided they would go on a scavenger hunt. I made them a list of things they had to find and out the door they went. First stop, the clubhouse. As they approached, they realized they had a visitor, an intruder in the CLUBHOUSE! They came running back to the house to inform me of their find and wanted the camera to take a picture. I decided I needed to see this excitement for myself. So, off in the rain I went up to the Clubhouse to see this creature that was causing such a stir. There, perched on log, (doing what we later would call protecting the clubhouse), was an Owl. So a new journey starts . . .trying to figure out just what kind of owl is their new sergeant at arms.
