A few eerie screeches were heard early in the evening( 7:00pm), the kind that make your skin crawl if you didn't know what they are and not the kind of screech we're use to hearing, more of the kind we have heard in videos when a barn owl is being handled by a human.
We did get a short porch landing by an owl at 12:36am where it sat for at least five minutes then took off at 12:41 followed by a very loud screech as it left.
Was this owl Mel checking on his Kastle?
ID of an outside owl is really impossible at this point but Mel has been known to go inside when he arrives.
