Eagle Owl

Last night, about midnight, I was turning off some lights and getting ready for bed. I kept hearing this hooting sound and I thought it was the kids. I opened the front door and stood there for a while and sure enough, I heard an owl. I called the kids down and we stood on the front porch for a while and listened to the owl. It was cloudy outside, so the sky was light. All of a sudden there was a scuffle in the trees and two owls came gliding out over our roof. Then they turned around and one owl landed in our tree and the other across the street in another tree. They both started in with the hooting and then the other from across the street flew back into our tree. They started scuffling again and both of them flew away. They headed for trees up the hill from our house. I got a good look at one and it was huge and the wing span was wide. I came in and looked at our animal books and found the eagle owl. It is the largest owl I could find. So at twelve thirty in the morning Luke, Melanie and I were having a lesson on owls. It was so awesome. I love learning.
