I remember leaping off the couch escaping whatever mundane conversation to run outside, eyes peering as far as possible into the night sky in an attempt to locate the Barn Owl whose shriek I had just heard. Fast forward many years later and I learned of a pair of young Spectacled Owls just near to the local university.

We were happy to experience three birds of prey on this jaunt. And two Ferruginous Pygmy-Owls toot-toot-tooted from the brush. There is also a family of Barn Owls on the premises, and I have briefly seen the largest of them (enormous!) They are even more awkwardly cute than adult Jacanas. flying by at night.

Maybe I will catch the faint notes of that Upland Sandpiper , maybe find a Barn Owl. We will still be watching birds tomorrow and when we get past these trying times, will experience hundreds of birds from habitats as varied as the misty cloud forests that top the nearby volcanoes to the humid forests of the tropical lowlands.
