As I was trying to research the bird's call 'poor wills' came up as a possibility (I would have thought it was 'whiporwill' too). I think I have the mystery bird tagged. The long eared owl has many calls - and what I heard was one of them. He was only there for 2 nights, now he seems to be gone. But the behavior was right, too, and we do have them in the desert. Active at dusk, which is when I hear him, and liking to roost in heavily foliaged trees, right next to an open space. He was in a tree on the golf course. Speaking of nice birdies, I fell in love with the Montezuma's oropendolas in Costa Rica. I've been trying to snag a picture for us on the internet, but my computer skills are legendary and I'm unable to figger it out.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
