Michael Lens, a professor of urban planning at UCLA, snapped the most incredible picture.
Which makes one wonder.
How often do you see a parliament of owls keeping watch over an ivory tower?
Naturally, it prompted howls of laughter online.

Lens, for one, isn’t so sure.
Every time I’ve seen them I’ve just jumped up and down and giggled so no writing for me no way.

I would get no work done. They would all have names, and I would talk to them all day long. https://t.co/7EFfsaMZHW
