As I got ready for bed I heard an owl hooting in the tree outside my window, which was later accompanied by a second owl responding. I know i have seen a snowy and a great-horned owl out here before.

I have also been graced with seeing a variety of other wildlife, which includes foxes, coyotes, bobcats, badgers, deer, hawks, kestrels, and on one occasion a bald eagle.
On a Spring evening I can listen to a vixen calling to her pups, or the going out and calling the coyotes and listening to them and their new pups answer back in their squeaks and yelps. And on a Cold and clear
Winter's night I can hear two owls calling to each other.

This is why I love living in the country.
