Two great horned owls again hooting softly to each other in the same oak trees in Decatur's cemetery near the tennis courts. One takes the highest perch on a dead limb silhouetting itself against the low cloudcover reflecting streetlight glow, easily more than 24" tall. The dog and I walk the circular road and take a route leading directly beneath them; I figure they're watching us with each step. Glad we don't have the pomeranian with us - she'd be a fine meal. They show no disturbance, but stop calling. I'll get back during one of these days to seek pellets possibly 5" long. There are lots of squirrel and chipmunk, but don't know what they're finding at night - cats, rats, coyote???

hi there, i live by the cemetery/tennis courts, and heard them communicating around midnight 12/30/09. i sat outside on my porch for 15 minutes listening to them :)
I've heard them often along the East of the cemetery in the wooded strip. Makes you feel right at home, eh?
