I remember leaping off the couch escaping whatever mundane conversation to run outside, eyes peering as far as possible into the night sky in an attempt to locate the Barn Owl whose shriek I had just heard. Fast forward many years later and I learned of a pair of young Spectacled Owls just near to the local university.

I’m hearing all kinds of owl howls, from Saw-whets at (where else?) Owl Woods and Short-eared Owls from New York to the Galapagos Islands. One birder known to many of us even had her life Barn Owl turn up in her backyard! I should have chased owls this weekend, but chose to work on my landscaping instead.

When visiting the Makgadikgadi Pans region we spotted several Marsh Owls quartering the pan fringes at dusk and, at Mowana Lodge in the Chobe, we had protracted views of their resident Barn Owl. Our Pel’s experience deep within the heart of the Okavango was unforgettable. What a beauty! What a place.

We were happy to experience three birds of prey on this jaunt. And two Ferruginous Pygmy-Owls toot-toot-tooted from the brush. There is also a family of Barn Owls on the premises, and I have briefly seen the largest of them (enormous!) They are even more awkwardly cute than adult Jacanas. flying by at night.

Maybe I will catch the faint notes of that Upland Sandpiper , maybe find a Barn Owl. We will still be watching birds tomorrow and when we get past these trying times, will experience hundreds of birds from habitats as varied as the misty cloud forests that top the nearby volcanoes to the humid forests of the tropical lowlands.

Speaking of hawks, two talented and extremely knowledgeable falconers, Marie Gaspari Crawford and Chloe Bowen, shared with us their birds and their experiences. I’ve never been on an “owl prowl” before, and was thrilled that the one we joined turned up the promised quarry, and then some. Barn Owl babies peering out from their box!
