News Highlights: Game Commission is looking for reports on big eared owls
This is the time of year when I can count on my nocturnal friend, the local great horned owl. If I squeak my bedroom window a little, I can hear him shout his lonely song all night long.
I am happy to report that a few screeching owls have returned to the grounds. Their presence is a bit more unreliable, here a few years and others past. If I put in a little effort, I can usually find a saw-owl and barred owl an hour away, and if the winter weather is cold enough, there will be an immature snowy owl somewhere in Washington County’s overgrown strip mines.
