Our neighbors have "hosted" a couple of screech owls this summer. They invited us over 1 evening to see them. Both birds did an extremely soft whinny, so soft we could barely hear them, even though they were perched on the top of the fence only 5 feet away. It was the softest sound coming from a screech owl I have ever heard. They both called in the same volume. Laura Dornan Stark County **************Psssst...Have you heard the news?
