I HEARD AN OWL CALL MY NAME

It was about 4:30 a.m. today, and a screech owl called for about a minute outside the bedroom window.
  For some reason, he thought my name was "Winnie."
  When another screech owl, began to drum, they both stopped…
  Yesterday, after several dickie birds mobbed the owl box, I activated the screech owl for the first time this fall. Nothing — as nothing is expected for another month at least.
   In the past four years, we have had a male screech owl move in anywhere from late October to early December, with the date getting slightly later each year.
   COMING TUESDAY: Mount Peter Hawk Watch pix and report.

    Isn’t is a wonderful sound? I too heard a screech owl early this morning very close by. Three winnies and a long coo. This is the first time I have heard him since we got the box back up and the cam running. I, like you, activated the cam, hoping against logic that maybe we had an early resident. No such luck. I can’t wait!
