How lovely, Glenda.

Sure rhizo, you experience the same :o)

Sounds relaxing and peaceful, Glenda. This time of year is especially gorgeous with the leaves changing color.

DH got up from going to bed early a couple of weeks ago to tell me he thought he was hearing an owl through the open bedroom window. We went outside, and he was hearing an owl, a very vocal owl. What a treat. We saw it in our yard at night a few times last year but not recently. Is this something you enjoy regularly?

It is a lovely evening, that's for sure. But all I hear are peepers, lol. I haven't heard an owl in awhile, several months. I'll NEVER forget the night that a Barred Owl perched on our roof (!!) and hooted back and forth to another owl in the distance.

I was sound asleep and he sounded like he was inside the room with me; I could even hear him scrambling around on the peak of the roof. Scared the you know what out of me for a second. I knew what kind he was because of his very distinctive call, heard HERE.

I heard an owl the other night. Love hearing them!!

Well that was fun. Maybe I'm not sitting on my porch enjoying like Glenda, but loved the video. Glenda, we have to really enjoy these little gifts we get now that winter is approaching both in season and in life.

Most pleasant evening, but then was awakened early am by the sound of bulldozers below me making way for drainage pipes and the sound of trees falling :o(

We have Eastern Screech, Barred and Great Horned owls in our area. Last night, there were three GHOs calling back and forth. Two were relatively close to the house (less than 1/4 mile) while the third was a bit further away. My neighbor and I notify each other when we hear them; it's so cool to hear owls conversing in the evening!

I'll never forget the 3AM wake up made by an Eastern Screech Owl right outside my bedroom window. If you've never heard one, click the link HERE and listen to the first sound bit. That'll send chills down your spine!

I use to have an owl come around every December and perch in my Tulip Poplar tree over a period of several days. The tree was about four feet from my back porch. I could walk out onto the porch and see his little "ears" silhouetted against the night sky. Sometimes I could see him quite clearly, he wouldn't move or fly away. There is a woods nearby so I hear owls fairly often.

Must tell you this one. This year when the Perseid meteor shower was happening in a clear starry sky, I got up at 2am., watched a few meteors then went to bed. A half hour later I heard an owl. So magical.

It's important in life to appreciate these special moments. Good for you, Glenda and others!

I heard an owl about 5 a.m. recently when I took the dog out for his business. It's so still and quiet, the sound travels really well.

I saw an owl in the daytime once. It was the same color as the tree trunk, and it was sleeping on a branch just where it joined the trunk. Another memorable moment.

I love Screech Owls; what an eery, melodic call they have. I'll always remember the time I was walking my dog in the live oak park behind my house and something attracted my attention. There was an old camellia about twelve feet tall next to me and halfway up sat three young screech owls, clearly older fledglings, scrunched together side by side.

Screech owls are very small even as adults so these triplets were so cute. They remained motionless the whole time, and Georgia and I quietly walked away.

What I like the most about your post is that you share your contentment with others, we all should be in love with nature.

What a nice evening you had. I love sitting outside in the evening when it's cool. I'll actually go outside now that the weather is cooling off at night.

Two weeks ago DH and I and my sister and her husband went to Elk County, Benezett, PA to see the elk herd there. They are bugling this time of year. It is absolutely amazing. They only bugle for a few weeks.

They walk around the very small town, through yards, down the road, through camp sites. Incredible. I wish I knew how to post videos here, I haven't been able to for awhile now. I can't even post pics anymore........

I love the night sounds of the peepers in the spring and summer. The last two nights I've been serenaded by a barred owl somewhere outside my bedroom window. Mornings I awaken to the honking of geese and the crows which I dearly love.
