Seems to be a lot of that on BYC these days, unfortunately. I realize everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but when it turns into right fighting, foul attitudes and immature verbal sparing that's going too far. I don't do Facebook because of that kind of stuff. Hoping this site isn't going...
I walked past an open window last night around 9:30, and heard what sounded like a hawk screaming. A few seconds after it stopped I heard some type of owl - it started off as a single hoot but then turned into a loud long trill. Nothing after that. Can owls make a hawk like sound? GHOs moved...
