The Owl


As promised on scrapsmack, this is an old photo of an owl. The original photo is on thin photo paper, circa 1900. The album is from New Jersey, I bought it on ebay. There was no writing to indicate date, place, etc. I found one photo I could date to about 1902 of the Beacon Incline Rail near Fishkill, NY. I'm thinking this owl was injured, otherwise I don't think it would have been so easily photographed.
