Just outside the great "city" of LaRue this morning, I was watching the Pleiades meteor shower...at 3 in the morning. There are some really great fireworks this past couple of nights, the next two nights will have the most shooting stars, the moon will block the faint ones, but like spring warblers, there are some that are showy enough to outshine the moon, and the whole month will be showy. :-D BUT At one point around 3:30 am the world got quiet and the only sounds were the crickets and what appeared to be 4 screech owls calling to one another...I know there was at least three, but a fourth started calling in a different place...but it could have been one of the previous that had moved a couple hundred yards. Also later on in the morning, a GHO started hooting back in the trees somewhere...wish I could go into the woods I heard them at, but the land is posted. :-( Oh well, tonight it is more shooting star action, and hopefully more owls asa well.
