Diane said there was an owl in the area and we followed her a little further down the street to have a look. At the south end of the airstrip at The Sea Ranch, we had a Great Horned Owl land in a tree just above our heads"

This is the owl that hoots. You can hear their call at this link to the Cornell Lab of Ornithology: https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Great_Horned_Owl/sounds

There are young Great Horned Owls calling for food now - and it's not the hooting call, it's a screaming call! Young owls have been seen and heard at Stewart's Point and at Sea Ranch.

I love owls! Thanks to Eric for allowing me to share his photo with you here.

A mild day with no wind. White clouds are drifting by and just a wisp of fog over the ocean. Highs in the low 70's. Pretty wonderful.
