Last night after working late in my study I heard quite clearly the
hoots of great horned owls.
I have heard these quite often before probably coming from Dry Creek
Open Space which is just a street beyond our house in Bradburn Village,
Westminster. But last night it was so loud that I went to investigate.
Outside the door I notice the sounds were coming from a street or so
over in the neighborhood, not the cottonwoods in the open space. Feeling
weird walking through alleys and streets at 12:15 AM with binoculars, I
tried to get closer to the sounds. I found the two owls perched on a
roof top (steep point of the roof) about 2 feet apart calling to each
other. Not surprisingly I saw no rabbits scurrying about as I usually do
when I go out at night. Hopefully the owls will help control the over
population of the rabbits.
