Owl Hoots

Every morning, I wake up early.  After waking up early every day for years for work, my body is still in the habit. My morning habit is to use the time to read.

This morning, as I'm reading, I could hear the distinct sounds of an owl hooting.  It made me smile!  Quietly I opened my back door, and could hear it even more distinctly.  It was probably in the neighbor's tree, but it was still pitch black outside.  Since its a chilly 44 and I'm in my jammies, I didn't wander out to have a closer look! 

Usually you see owls further out of town, but only if you look closely! 

According to Google: Hearing an owl at night spiritually signifies wisdom, transition, hidden knowledge, and messages from the spirit world, often acting as a guide through darkness ..... 

As I researched more about owl hoots, its noted that coyotes often imitate owl hoots in order to scare prey.  So maybe its a good thing I didn't venture out to see the owl!!
