An Owl´s Free Lunch

I came upon this site when visiting a small acreage. It seems that the owner was catching magpies to relocate them off his property. Unfortunately for the birds, an owl followed them into the trap. It appears that there were 4 unfortunate prisoners when the owl arrived. When the trap was lifted to release the owl, it decided to stay. It seemed to be saying that as long as it's lunch was still there, so was he. He had no interest or fear in the people around him, at least not until the cat arrived. Luckily for the cat, the owl was no longer hungry and, after a time, decided to leave.
