So, one sleep deprived night, the deep hooting of a pair of Great Horned Owls woke me out of a dead sleep. I shot up in bed to confirm, then my wife asked me what was wrong. Everything after that is a blur...
Fast forward two weeks and again, I had to crawl out of bed at an early hour so that I could get on the road for an early start to my work day...and it hit me. Didn't I hear a GHOW a couple weeks ago? At this point, I was convinced that it was one of those vivid dreams but as the day went along, I started recalling more details about this memory. When I got home, I asked Em if she remembered my waking up to a calling GHOW. She confirmed and thus yard bird #83 was born.
I'll refrain from the use of "epic" here so I'll settle for "Neato!"

That's a hoot!
ReplyDeleteI had a dream once that I was looking at a singing Black-throated Green Warbler about 5' in front of my face, at which point I woke up to one signing outside my window! Anyone else eligible to claim the ability to ID birds in their sleep?
ReplyDeleteThat's "singing" not "signing". Don't know of any deaf birds, let alone ones that use sign language.
