Now you understand why I wanted to escape the heat in the Central Valley of CA (over 105 degrees too many days in Summer).<br />I'm interested .... do Mr. and Mrs. Owl have babies? Do you notice the babies or parents 'calling' to one another? When I visited the Birds of Prey Sanctuary in Idaho, the owl they have raised from an egg, though over a year old, constantly made this 'calling' noise. His handler explained that the baby owls leave the next at a relatively young age; they 'call' to their parents their location and the parents continue to feed them for many months, maybe even a year after hatching. Just wondered if you're hearing that. mps2343https://www.blogger.com/profile/06059253597064329074noreply@blogger.com
