How about RESO??. Short for Red Eastern Screech Owl.

Next time you see him, call him RESO. See if he looks at you.

We've got two owls. They sit on different sides of my house and call to each other. Really amazing. There are some things to be said about rural Texas. I've never seen them, I only hear them tho.

About owlbert,well you asked. heh heh Sue

Uh oh... One upped by my Texas buddy... Now I really need to get another box..

If I remember correctly, Billye lives out in the boonies, a good place for owls... If they are hooting back and forth, "Who, who, who cooks for you," they are probably big Great-horned owls and being that close to one another, I would suspect they are a pair...

We had a GH (owl talk, not medical) female on the nest here in our neighborhood and she became sick and had to go to the wildlife animal rescue for treatment. The neatest thing happened when she was released back into her area. Waiting across the street in the top of a very tall tree, was her mate, like he knew she was coming. She flew right straight to him and off they flew together into the sunset...

They eat meeces to pieces and sometimes rabbits or squirrels. I am always afraid the big owls will grab my Yorkies, so they are in the corral at night waiting to saddle up and see what kind of trouble they can get into in the am...

Just something fun to get my mind on besides PN... Still thinking about names...

I can't imagine living around animals the way you do. I am just picturing myself surrounded by squirrels, and owls. NOT GONNA HAPPEN!!! lol

And what on earth is meeces to pieces??
Melody

OHHHHHH I'm SOOO jealous that y'all are owls in your yard!! I'm going to look into an owl box and see if we can get one. We have lots of other types of birds in our yard but never have seen, or heard, an owl here, but I would think there would be some around.
It's SO great that y'all get excited over nature cause I'm a BIG nature fan. We go through LOTS of bird/squirrel food every week feeding our all critters.

Melody,
Meeces is plural for mice. "Sorta" ....I mean if they eat lots of mice then they eat meece. Right!!??

We have all kinds of wildlife. Some I like more than others. Cathie,
I didn't realize that the owls were a pair and I didn't realize they eat squirrel. We enjoy our squirrels so much. But they do torment the devil out of our little long haired Chihuahua. He stands on his hindlegs and just bugles he wants to get them so bad. They jump up and down and run over his head like they are saying "nnanna can't catch me".
