Up and in the yard b4 dawn again. The activity is significant and literally in the yard. I cannot see them only hear them. @least 3 individual birds. I saw without question a GHO run off by crows two weeks ago. This screeching may be something else. I have listened to every screech owl sound on...
They must be juvenile. There are several of them. I have seen one once and it is withou question a GHO. My theory is they are hunting the flying squirells which we have a lot of.
There is a chorus of owls this morning. Three or more. @ Dusk last night as well. They have to know our chickens are here. The girls dont seem to pay any attention to the owl screeching.
Witnessed an GHO in back yard this AM. Was out there before dawn screaching. Crows located it just after sun up and chased it off. It returned an hour later. Chickens have been hiding under the deck.
