rider. When I looked up I saw a raptor heading over Statler. Initially, I
thought a Coopers, but as it came closer it was an adult male PEREGRINE FALCON.
It was making a strange screechy squeaky sound as it flew

This evening around 6:30 after hearing at least one Great Horned owl hooting
nearby, my husband continued calling back until 3 adult owls flew in to
surround our backyard, while a 4th continued to call from a nearby yard. This
is the first time we have sighted more than two at a time here.
Just a heads-up that tonight's seminar is still happening--hope to see you here!
