During our recent spell of pleasant nights we were able to leave our
windows open and listen to the night sounds. First, a new neighbor has 2
yipping dogs - ugh! Also thought they had a parrot outside because of the
loud squawking, starting about sunset and continuing until the bird got
hoarse - then starting again in the early morning hours. Last evening we
came home about 8 pm and heard the loud squawking then heard 2 Great Horned
Owls calling. The owls flew over us, calling on the wing, then the
squawking joined them - it was a young owl!! What a wonderful surprise!!
We have never seen the owls calling while flying and then its nice to know
they have a young one. Now the squawking will be music to sleep by. (If
only we could get those dogs to stop yipping all the time!)
