Enlighten me: I thought GHO courted in January. If they are courting in
October, won't the females be brooding and then raising owlets in the
middle of winter?

Deep songs of owls' nuptials float far on gentle night currents
Songbirds shiver on shadow shrouded boughs in dread of lurking silence

I heard what I assume was a crow taken out by an owl in the ravine tree tops
behind my house this summer. It was horribly slow and loud; seemed like a good
10 minutes. I was surprised that no other crows came to its defense.

Linda, I've been hearing them too -- sounded like one was in my backyard or
towards your yard, but if you hear it towards the school, those loud voiced
carry far!

The crows would prefer they sit still hooting and not floating silently around
in the canopy of pine grove roosts.

We’ve been hearing one and two Great-horned owls from Muriel street sounding
like they’re over towards northeast elementary. Heard them at least 4 times in
the last two weeks. Sounding like a male and female. Two times around 9 PM and
two times in the early hours of morning around 3. Very neat.
A Great Horned Owl was singing this evening at Six-Mile Creek,
repeating the classic sequence of hoots starting around 7pm from the
hills south of the second dam reservoir. Let the courting begin, I
suppose.
