Hootie

Mike and I have been listening to an owl hooting at night. He is so loud we can hear him with our windows shut. I have always wanted to see an owl. Of course his name is Hootie. The other night he was singing away, and Mike went outside to take out the garbage. He looked up in our neighbor's tree after Hootie hooted loudly, and there he was sitting on a high branch! He is a great Horned owl and you could see his "ears" and everything. We watched him for several minutes, and then he swooped over the marsh.
