While watching the late night hockey game I noticed my dogs started to bark again. This spring my dogs and Barred Owls have nightly conversations but I am usually able to call them back to the house. Luckily I have no neighbours. On this night when I stuck my head out the window the dogs did not respond to calls. Upon listening to the call that they were responding too I realized it was different. A combination of mews and chucks. My first thought was they had treed a stray cat but that was not making sence but at 2am I was not really thinking clearly. When I was relistening to the owl CD to confirm a sawwhet the recording of the Long eared owl was exactly what I heard a couple of nights earlier. The dogs also respond to my recordings of the owls and immediately charged outside.
  Unfortuneately the LE Owl has moved on as I tried for it on the nice nights we had this weekend to no success.
   
   
  YB Sapsucker, Tree Swallow, and Woodduck have returned this week. Also had a starling doing a perfect mimic of an eastern pewee. Performed it more than once amougst other calls.
