Ready for my close-up

Best placement yet + surprise guest

After a short break, I put the camera up on a 25-foot pole in the tree our barn owls like to hang out in - best shots yet!

Below are two samples of what the owls sound like, nearly all night long. I never thought I’d find their screams, shrieks, and screeches a comfort, but I miss them when I don’t hear them - I’ll even crack open my bedroom window to make sure they are happy out there.

The above is an adult, the shriek below is a young’n.

I wish audio embeds had captions!

Can you tell who made a guest appearance in the picture below?
