A little observation, ??

[king 11,664]

My lad had a school trip a few years back and came home with what he said was an owl call.

 just a little stick that's been split and a piece of thin tape sandwiched between the wood..while lamping if we hear an owl you can copy its call with it.and they will call back.after about 10 calls back and fore I leave them be..

There's an owl that goes off in the afternoon during daylight hours up at the woods, heard a few times now 

Is that a onesie?

I should imagine they say words like "Who, who, whooooo?"

That's right and I reply..dee, deeeaaa, deeaannnnn,

The last hour of daylight if you see a barn owl nearby make a squeak with your hand not to loud though..I've done it many a time and had a few within 10ft of me..

Since I moved on to the boat, you notice little shifts in seasons and natures patterns a bit more, over the last few moon phases the owl activity appears to increase the closer to a full moon we get, Thursday full moon owls going off everywhere from the moment it got dark, last night no moon heard my first one at 2,30 am and then only one or two, just a little observation I thought I would share

Everything is more active around a full moon., and I mean everything. From animals to birds, to us humans, and even our intestinal parasites. Next time you intend to cleanse your intestinal system from parasites, dose yourself during a full moon, or new moon.
