["Lyneart" <lyneart@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I went out in the yard just before dawn this morning to top off the cow 
watering trough. A Horned Owl was calling repeatedly from a dead limb at the 
very top of an oak tree in the barn lot and being answered by a nearby, but 
invisible Horned Owl at a little higher pitch. I heard one call of a distant 
Barred Owl and an unidentified call consisting of a single, emphatic note. The 
one note call was at about the same pitch as a Barred Owl's call. Whatever the 
one note call was, I have heard it many times before on hot summer nights. I 
didn't hear a Screech Owl last night, but have heard one calling on several 
recent nights.
