At about 3 pm I was awakened, not by congestion, but by a pair of Great Horned Owls duetting just outside my window! The guest room is at the other end of the house from our bedroom so Barry didn't hear them. That is, until I woke him! We tried to see the owls in the bright moonlight -- one of which was very close, probably in a big cedar half-way down the back yard -- but couldn't. Eventually they stopped, we went back to bed, and just before I fell asleep, I heard them again further away. This is Atlas Breeding Block Kensington CW, I think -- Cheers (hack, wheeze...)
