Wonderful! Who doesn't love those beautiful birds?

And it's true that they somehow seem more like mammals than birds. The word for "owl" in Chinese translates as "raptor with a cat's head."

Oh, so lucky! To hear an owl conversation is delightful enough, but to actually see one must have been thrilling. And you are exactly right about it bringing wildness into your heart.

BTW, although I know you don't like to put words to bird song, I use this mneumonic device: Great Horned Owl says, "Whooo's awake? Me, too!" and Barred Owl says, " Who cooks for you? Who cooks for you allll?" ❤️🦉
