Several weeks ago, for 3 mornings in a row,
I had 2 Barred Owls hooting back and forth
for 30-45 minutes.  On the Sunday morning, I was
able to locate one.

Then everything was silent, until Sunday evening
Jan 28--& every day (at least in the night) sometimes also in morning before dawn, I have had 2 Great Horned Owls hooting.  3 times, the last being this morning, I 
have been able to locate one.  Friday evening, actually Saturday morning, from 2:30 am til I was able to fall back to sleep, it sat in a tree right outside my bedroom window--barking.  The mate is a little off in the distance.
This morning, we saw it fly to a nest that it used last year.

Also, have had a MALE Yellow-Bellied Sapsucker show up on the peanuts & suet, since November,when it is cold &/or snow on the ground.  Hung out today for 20 minutes at a time, several visits.

Flocks of robins, 50 or more have been feeding at 2 different spots in the development that have trees loaded with berries.

Lots of Titmice, White Breasted Nuthatch, Black Capped Chickadees & Goldfinch.  Oddly, since we moved here in Nov, 2005, we hardly get any Cardinals.

Good Birding
