A WESTERN SCREECH OWL was singing its bouncing ball song from about 9:20 to
9:35 PM in our back yard last night. This is the first time we've heard or
seen a Screech Owl in the Beaumont neighborhood since we moved here over 25
years ago. We used to hear and see them regularly for a few years just down
the hill in the Grant neighborhood between Grant Park and 40th Avenue about
15 years ago. We assumed they were all gone until a neighbor down there
said he heard one a couple of months ago. Oh, how I hope they flourish.
Love them owls:)
