Kind of a personal story for me, but when I went down to my grandfather's house in florida, to say good bye, and spread his ashes in the bay, there was an owl on the roof, similar to what Chick posted.

I think his owl, was plastic, to scare away predictors.

But to this date, I am sure my grandfather was that owl.

I remember many times that people have told me of loved ones who passed and their encounter, sometimes before, sometimes after, of the appearance of an animal they believe to be a totem, a form of reincarnation of their loved one.

The totem characters have been favored pets, stags, bears, hummingbirds, robins, owls and eagles. . I don't discount any of them.

What will my totem be?

What will my totem be?

I am thinking a hummingbird - but, a very rare or thought to be extinct one.

I am thinking a hummingbird - but, a very rare or thought to be extinct one.

I was imagining a hummingbird that can morph onto a miniature falcon. Or maybe a Pygmy-owl. But my personality might align better with the gentle spirited Saw-whet Owl. All favorite predators anyway, including the hummingbird.

What would your totem be?

Here's a couple photos of the more than 120 mule deer I spotted in Rio Blanco County today, three older bucks were among them but no awesome senior citizens yet.
