My Hoot Owl is back! [View all]

It came back South again, and I heard the HOOt-HooT-Hoo again!

It's a lovely Great Horned Owl that I have the great pleasure of acting like an idiot at night when I hear it and hoot back at it .

I can only imagine that it has migrated to escape the cold another winter, because it is hooting it's little heart out.
