Around 5 AM this morning I was dozing happily when my attention was drawn to a quiet but repetitive sound outside our bedroom window. A Great Horned Owl was saying good morning from the nearby woods. It may have been the one we’ve seen recently, that last made an appearance in our back yard in March.
I listened to it call for about ten minutes before it meandered away. In the calm, quiet morning, I found this hooting especially soothing. It was a nice reminder that nature is all around us.
