That's a great idea Claire - only problem I have is that our boy cat hides if I hoot like an owl!

I was practicing his sound last night...(I'm useless) ...then I went to bed to read...and there it was just outside my window. There are many birders who can do his voice so well...it stirs up the little birds for better spottings.

He was incredibly laid back Christy - the 'evil' expression in photo 4 was actually the 'lil guy dozing off!

Adorable!! Sadly, our foundation does NOT have a screech right now...I learned to handle birds with our little "Spud" years ago!! They're so feisty! Great series, Karen!
