Doves…@#$%^!! doves have a nest on the neighbour’s roof across the laneway from our bedroom and where you can’t quite see it to get a good shot at it with a pellet gun ;( I’d trade a quiet ‘hoot’ for a non-stop ‘coo’ any day.
Took a bunch of 10-year-old Cub Scouts and their parents for their very first overnight campout in a DuPage County Forest Preserve. All was good until about 11:00 P.M. At that time a police car with its siren on went down a road about 1/2 mile away.
That was fine.
The half-dozen coyotes that answered it and then howled at each other for the next 20 minutes sounding like they were coming for our souls next was not so fine. None of those kids ended up joining Boy Scouts ….

I’m guessing you have barred owls? The mates have a lot to say!

“It was a mouse.”
“No, it was a mole!”
“It had a tail!”
“That was a worm!”
“For being able to turn your head 230 degrees, you don’t see jack!”

Maybe Hooty from The Owl House came to visit.
