A pair of Great Horned Owls live in a tree very near our master bedroom windows.  I have never lived in a house before that had mature trees that owls enjoy so much. There is a large, dying tree in my neighbor’s backyard and I believe it is their nest. Their calls at night to each other, gorgeous sounding, make me smile and I always whisper to Wife, “Do you hear the owls?” In her half-sleep, she usually says, “Yes.”

Listen to their pair call:

Owls are in mating season, so be on the lookout, as they will attack!
