Night Sounds.

Saw-whet Owl

On one of our first trips into the aviary where Dhani, Ray-Ray, and I will work, all the inmates went sorta berserk over Dhani. Then they all suddenly calmed down.

I knew he'd said something to them, but when I asked him he denied it. No, no, no. If you say you want to be my friend, don't lie to me. I pushed him, and he admitted he'd told them to calm down. But why did they, just because he said to?

Anyway, this little female saw-whet is only maybe 8 inches tall. Her face is so sweet. At night, I can hear another one calling from across the lake. (Jo identified the call for me.)

Is it her partner? Can wild animals miss each other?
