Fellow birders,

     Was sitting on my prairie deck about 9:00 this evening when I finally
heard a Great horned owl calling from the direction of Clouse Lake.  Great
horned owls nested in our hollow last year and successfully fledged two
young,  but they had not been heard nor seen this year until tonight.  It
called constantly for about five minutes, moved closer and called some
more.  This is probably the most vocalization I have ever heard from a
Great horned owl.

     Other yard birds of note include

Green heron at pond
L. waterthrush
Blue gray gnatcatcher
Both kinglets
Northern Parula
Yellow rumped and yellow throated warblers
Brown thrasher and  Hermit thrush
