While sitting in the pre-dawn darkness this morning, enjoying the phenomenal weather, stars, and night sounds, I was treated to several minutes of the unmistakable call of a Northern Saw Whet owl. It took me back to my very first Saw Whet encounter, over 30 years ago...while I was deer hunting. At that time I had no idea what I was looking at, as I watched it calling. This time, I didn't see it, but knowing the little guy was sharing the woods with me made for a special morning. Some people deer hunt to shoot deer, others of us do it as an excuse to enjoy friends, family....and sit in trees uninterrupted. Not that it matters, but I was in NW Todd county.
