Awakened in the middle of the night
to a squeal, followed by a familiar guttural -
"Who who - who whoooooo?
Who who - who whooooooo?"
- right outside my window.
I worried for some little creature that might have made the squeal,
and then remembered that baby owls,
who can't yet say, "Who?"
sometimes squeal.
Kept my head under the covers and didn't get out the camera, so using this stock photo from my archives.
