I’ve been getting trolled most the year by a GHO- they’d set up above my window and hoot until I went outside to try and get a picture.

Eventually set up a webcam… jerk used it for a perch (and flew in and off from behind… all it saw were its talons…)

Whelp. It’s grainy. But I finally got ‘em.

(Very) Early Christmas Day. There was at least four others calling out, maybe 5-6, some were distant, so they were too bothered to hide from me.

    I have it on good authority that there were only four calling birds.

      There were at least 4, from separate directions. A few calls were far enough away that I think there were more (were next to a very large park, that runs half the county.)

      It felt more like call-and response with an owl further out.

      Three French hens? Two turtle doves? A partridge in a pear tree?
