International Owl Awareness Day August 4th

They are fascinating birds. My favorites are the ones that hoot, but some make very odd sounds that you would never identify as owls, unless you went to a website of recordings. I'm fond of either the barn owl or screech owl too, but I get their calls mixed up, I can't remember which one has the call that we hear mostly around here. It's kind of a fluttering downward drift from a high pitch to a lower pitch that I find soothing. I was surprised when I first understood it was an owl. And then there's the mysterious part about coming out a night while we are sleeping.
