[DS1]

21. don't know if this one screeches or not

[RushIsRot]

25. Dunno why they're called screech owls. I have one calling in the

spring and it sounds more to me like a horse whinny.

I call it the w00t Eagle shot, but it does look like he's going "look how fucking awesome I am!"

That first one is adorable. The Eagle is amazing as well.

32. Aww! What an adorable little owl!

The eagle looks like someone you wouldn't mess with. Nice pics.

33. I like your photos! On Friday I was awake in very early morning hours

and heard the hooting of an owl. Early Saturday I awoke and heard that owl and one in the distance with a lower hoot calling back and forth. It sounded so peaceful. By looking in my bird book, and looking up owl sounds on the internet, I found that they are Great Horned owls. You can hear them here-
