Night owls

I woke in the middle of the night to the cries of two or three barred owls on opposite sides of my house. They were yelling at each other about dinner duty, as barred owls often do.

Last week a lone barred owl spent considerable time lurking, napping, and hunting in my backyard. I hoped it had taken up residence here. I haven't seen it in a few days, however, although I hear owl calls daily. My yard seems to be hunting territory, if not a home base.
