This morning at 1:25 AM, I heard at least two screech owls calling near my
house. There may have been more (a family?), and one, perhaps a young bird,
was occasionally giving a shortened, higher pitched version of the whinny.
Since I've been sleeping on the screen porch a lot this summer, this is the
first I've heard. Typically screech owls call on their own frequently in
August and September, but not often at other times. [Why was I awake then? I
dreamed I had a tick crawling on my arm, but I was getting frustrated
because I couldn't see it on my arm (all of the dark spots I was "seeing"
were just freckles). Then I woke up, felt the tick in the dark, and
dispatched it.]   I decided not to punish anyone with tick remarks.
