Communing With Owls


Sometimes, working the graveyard shift can be fun.

A little while ago, while parked at a cul de sac in the Burbank hills, a couple of owls were screeching nearby. I decided to do my own owl bird call ("who-who who who" is how it goes).

After doing this, one came over to where I was parked and perched himself/herself on the arm of the nearby streetlight (12' in front of me).

He/she sat there a for several minutes and looked down at me and continued screeching. Then, the mate flew by and it took off and followed.

I got a fairly good look at it and it appeared to be a Great Horned Owl that is indigenous to Southern California.  It looked like the one in the photo (above left).
