WHOO WHO WHO
The owl is back.
S/he is out there about 4 AM when Franklin and I go out to pee. Old joke. Him not me.
We hear the owl.
I hoot back.
The owl gets closer.
We do it again.
Franklin is fascinated. He sits. Ears up. Cocks his head.
"What the fuck is going on? Will I have to have an owl in the house"?
No.
I quit.
It is a kind of manipulation so I stop.
The owl will get over it.
It is one of the most wonderful sounds in the night.
This is a barred owl and I think ours is a barn owl. We see him fly by some nights from the spa.
Maybe I will get close enough to see.
