Hello All,
Yesterday evening we joined Ginger and Rodger Shoemake and Gingers Sister for a walk up N.Fk. Coppei Creek. High overhead were 45+ Violet-green Swallows and closer to earth was a very vocal Northern Pygmy Owl which gave the expected "toot" call as well as the prolonged laugh type call. There was also a second pygmy owl off to the south calling. This was a great way to end a windy, beautiful day.
The owl was a lifer for the Shoemakes!
Later Mike
