Last evening at 8:15pm I was treated to a hooting great horned owl in my black walnut tree. That makes two years in a row for GHO on this suburban yard list, and only the 4th yard sighting in 18 years. Hopefully a trend! I grabbed the binocs and got decent (if dark) looks for a few minutes. He flew off west and I followed to the end of the dead end street, down a footpath and observed him for another 15-20 minutes as he hooted occasionally, perched in tall trees along the edge of a vast scrubby wasteland that we call the old 3M property.
