Now the nightly "owl hunt" has become an adventure. Last night we headed out to find the owls in their usual spot but there was nothing. Not even any hooting. I hooted, but none hooted back. So we headed back to the house and there it was - a hoot. So we followed it and soon we heard several owls hooting back and forth.
Listening lead us straight to an owl on a roof. A few minutes later his mate joined him. They were very active, then one flew straight towards us. We were not afraid. Luckily the owl was only flying to a branch on the tree right in front of us. We had never been that close to a Great Horned Owl before.
Unfortunately, even though we were so close, it was getting too dark for any photos. But maybe tomorrow, or the next day I'll have some.
