Last night my husband was emptying the bird-bath water out of the heated 
container and he heard this owl but did not know what it was - we often hear 
Great-horned Owls here.  I have only heard a Saw-whet on bird call cd's and 
this was certainly one quite close outside - great thrill!

I finally have Redpolls mixed in with the many Pine Siskins (about 22) at our 
feeders but I was lamenting the lack of birds since we returned from our month 
in Texas and today I think I know why.  A doggone feral cat was under the 
nearest Spruce tree and that was after we had lots of little finches outside 
with the usual suspects.
