Birdwatching 4


Great Horned Owl (Bubo virginianus)
(PGC Photo/Hal Korber @ www.pgc.state.pa.us)

There has been a skunk walking along the fence line at night. The German shepherd next door is just beside himself with rage and anxiety. At about 3 am we have been hearing the "Whoo, Whoo....Whoo" of a great horned owl. Two nights ago there was a scream--silence--then a self-satisfied "Whoo, Whoo..." It makes our blood run cold...
