Saturday night my wife and I had a Great Horned Owl wake us up at about 2:30am. It was incredibly loud. I was able to go outside and actually see its silhouette right at the peak of my neighbor's house! It was a spectacular sight. I've not heard or seen Great Horned Owls in our neighborhood until this sighting. It hooted for a solid hour. I thoroughly enjoyed it. My (non-birding) spouse did not enjoy it nearly as much as I did! Spencer A.
