Walked out my front door about 6:15 tonight to get something out of the 
car.  Swore I heard a Great Horned Owl call from up the street 
somewhere.  It called again about 40 seconds later.  Went walking up 
sidewalk past  3 or 4 houses when it dawned on me that we are just a few 
days out from Halloween and it was probably not a GHO but somebody 
testing a scary sound tape. Found the tree (a tall evergreen) where the 
call was coming from (still every 30 or 40 seconds).  It would have to 
be an ambitious person to get a speaker up that high in the tree.  As I 
walked toward the tree, the owl flushed out!
