Thanks for the great thread C19fan! (Offtopic alert - which manner of C19 are you a fan of?)

We hear owls at night here on the Georgia coast a LOT, but I was never sure which species I was listening to until your post inspired me, Flycatcher ; }

I looked up an owl audio clip site, and lo and behold, we have Great Horned Owls!!

Sometimes they will “converse” with me a bit, and then I have to stop, because I know all my rescued and released squirrels are thinking - “MOM!!! Quit talking to him!! You could be inviting him to come to dinner!!”

Countless are the blessings.

This site has a profile of a Great Horned Owl, which is a perspective I hadn’t seen before. Maybe someone can get it to post here as my tech skills are extremely weak, laughs.

May God give us strength.

If you have two great horned owls "conversing" with you, you can actually tell the sexes apart. Apparently, the male hoots first, usually followed by the female in response.

The male's hoots are higher-pitched however. The female's hoots (in response) seem to be noticeably lower-pitched.

Now you've got your homework for tonight! Lol!

All the best!

Which manner of C19 are you a fan of? I amateur Victorianist so I enjoy learning about the 19th century, you can in Civil War.
