So last night what do you do during a BIG snowstorm? If you are my local male Great Horned Owl, you hoot your love to your sweetheart. If you are me, you head out hiking during the storm and find said owl … in the dark silhouetted against the sky … and watch / listen to the singing. The owl would move its entire body with each hoot. It had to hard to hoot into the wind. I have edited out some of the silence. The photograph is of the actual unique individual owl which is hooting, just during the day and not in the middle of a snowstorm, but the hooting is from last night.

If anyone would like a free PDF download of my children’s book, which documents the owlets raised my this owl and its mate (factually correct), browse to Hoot’s page.
