This is simply a short note of a bird that I heard from inside my house on 03-22-2014 at 3:45am. It was an owl, hooting in our backyard. We do not keep an official list of all the birds we've seen or heard in the backyard. That would be a "Yard List". Neither Berry nor I keep such a list. But this is the first time that I have ever heard an owl in my yard. The only detail I know is that I can exclude the Barred Owl (Strix Varia), because I heard it hooting.
What was I doing up at 3:45am, you are wondering. I was aroused from deep sleep by a sinus congestion. I was standing there in my kitchen, quietly pickling vegetables, when the owl hooted in my backyard.
