Barred owls hang around our backyard and make good company most of the year.
In March, April and May we constantly hear the female's mating call, it sounds like a dog whimpering.....wild really
She will call and the male responds with the usual Who...Who. Im fascinated how wildlife can become used to, and trusting of a human's presence.
Really cool to be aware that all living things share some connection to one another.
