It is midnight here on Long Island, NY and I’m listening to the calls of a Great Horned Owl right now. He/she has been here for about 5-6 weeks; i hear it from dusk to dawn almost every night and have seen it flying between the trees in our neighborhood. So far I’ve only heard 1; would love for there to be a pair!
I believe it took over a next high up in a pine tree abandoned by a red-tailed hawk who was here for a few years in the spring/summer. Wonder what happens if the hawk comes back???
Earlier this winter we saw a family of bunnies that seems to be under our backyard shed cohabitating with a family of possums; maybe that’s why the owl is here. Haven’t seen any bunnies in the last couple of weeks :-(
Quite an exciting bunch of wildlife we have here considering we are in a fairly densely populated area only 25 miles from Manhattan/NY City!
