It comes to our yard fairly often and when it hoots, it's difficult to ignore and sleep! They're LOUD! We hear it down at the cemetery (from our house) nearly every night. I love hearing it!<br /><br />Great eye, Lisa, but then, you are the master bird watcher!Kylee Baumlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04288354709094515651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1376606540097525538.post-10981796188054827952010-01-17T10:25:11.777-05:002010-01-17T10:25:11.777-05:00Agree, I'm pretty sure thats a raccoon track.Agree, I'm pretty sure thats a raccoon track.twincapeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13854890686721751224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1376606540097525538.post-4159657488548704752010-01-15T09:22:21.802-05:002010-01-15T09:22:21.802-05:00Hi Lisa,

Sophie either stops for a long time to sniff everything or lunges ahead to find the next exciting thing, nearly pulling my arm out of its socket. This weekend, though, when it was well below zero she didn't stay out very long--apparently she does have a limit.<br /><br />How exciting to see the owl!

Lucky you to see a Great Horned Owl! We have barred owls around here, and in fact a nursery-owning buddy of mine is building 'owl houses' and has promised me one for up in the spruce trees. I'm thinking the track is probably a racoon that woke up and was hungry.
