My husband was out walking in our neighborhood around 5:30 this evening and noticed a large raptor gliding from tree to tree. Initially he could not get a positive ID. But later in a different part of the neighborhood, while chatting with a neighbor, both spotted the owl in a nearby tree. It took off and glided directly over them. This is the second spotting this fall. I saw what may be the same bird in our neighborhood Thanksgiving weekend. Wishing all a peaceful and bird-filled holiday!
