I just heard of an incident where a person was out training their dog at
dusk and was buzzed by an owl. This happened on more than one occasion
near the same location. With a little experimentation they determined
that the owl was attracted to the "silent" dog whistle. Has any one else
had this experience? Does it seem like a reliable way to call owls?

>From the description the owl was probably a Great Horned Owl. The time
and location was near the ATL plant adjacent to I405 near Bothell and
occurred a couple years ago. Any other owl reports from that area?
