Sunrise 7:23 am, sunset 8:21
pm for a total day length of 12 hours and 57 minutes. Tomorrow will be 5
minutes and 25 seconds shorter.
Highs in the upper 50s, lows
in the upper 40s. Rain in the forecast for the next week.
At 3 am this morning, I was
startled awake by a SAW-WHET OWL playing jazz improv from a spruce tree right by my open
bedroom window. The little guy with a big voice delivered a virtuoso performance, tossing in an unusual ascending progression to his principle theme of
"beep, beep, beep" which was almost, but not quite on the same pitch.
After a brief pause, he experimented further with the pitch of the
"beep", first a little flat, then a little sharp, followed by more
doodling. After a few more minutes, he
must have taken a deep bow and silently departed.
What riveting, wild music
from an unexpected musician of the night!
Happy Birding!
