[Tweeters] Western Screech Owl in Seahurst

[THOMAS BENEDICT]

Heard a Western Screech Owl calling for about 10 minutes just now (9:30PM) here in Seahurst, near Burien, WA. As far as I could tell it was only one bird. The calls seemed from the same direction and distance. Heard it a little over a week ago too, but that was in the middle of the night, around 2:00am.

The most common owls in our neighborhood are Barred Owls, but occasionally over the years I've heard the WESO, so I guess they are holding their own. I've never seen WESO, and only seen BADO a couple of times. There are reports of Great Horned Owl in nearby Seahurst Park but I've never definitively heard one.
