We heard one Great Horned Owl hooting about 5:45 am this morning from the woods, audible from right outside of our house. It stopped the instant daylight crept in. Second observation of GHOs hooting near our home, separated by a few months- here's hoping they will nest!

He heard ,not far from the house, in the woods, to the north/west ---hoot, hoot. Then right away an answering hoot, hoot from the south. After a minute another faint hoot, hoot still farther south (woods). 3 Great Horned Owls. Today there were rafts of Canada Geese all along the lake shore and doing a great lot of honking. Also all the usual birds at the feeders & suet. Naomi Brewer 7214 Wyers Point Road, Ovid, NY.
