Our wives have hooters (1 Viewer)

You've reminded of a wonderful day I spent in some remnants of rain forest quite near to New Orleans. We didn't see too many birds but one of them was a gorgeous barred owl. I well remember the elderly American couple I met in the bird hide, too - wonderfully kind folk whose family had originally emigrated from Poland.

A twitching friend of mine has become obsessed with seeing a local Horned owl. My wife caught him last week. He is very location faithful almost to a single perch. Mike and his wife,my wife the Owler and I returned today with scope on a 60 degree Partly sunny Ohio day and found the male . The Owler walked 15 feet up the path and found the female. I won't have to hear about finding this bird anymore. I'm trying to get my wife retuned to find the Barred owl I hear in our nearby woods.I'm sure the four of us will return to watch this pair before leaf-out in the Spring.
Good sightings,
Sam

I've never heard it called a rain forest in this area before -- it's too wet for that, we just call it a swamp!

The Barred Owl is a personal favorite that I always enjoy seeing or more often hearing.
