Me, the wife and the dog went up on the hill by the ginormous sweetgum tree tonight about 10pm. My first time out back on the property at night. Beautiful 76 degrees.
Sitting there on the quad looking at the stars and got off to investigate a strange crying screeching sound I kept hearing. Over here, over there, over here ... kept changing location. I'm looking on the ground .. asked the wife for the big spot light, pointed it up towards the tree in time to catch what appeared to be a very large owl gliding over our heads ... research shows the call to have been a Barn Owl. Was quite dramatic seeing it in the spotlight about 15 feet over our heads gliding in absolute silence. Glided over to another tree about 300 feet away.
