Farm Hoot
Over a half century ago on a hot summer's night as I would try to drift off to sleep, I would sometimes hear the haunting hoot of an owl from somewhere in our farm grove. But I can't ever remember catching a glimpse of them.
Facts: Minnesota has twelve species of owls: barn, barred, boreal, burrowing, great gray, great-horned, northern hawk, long-eared, saw-whet, eastern screech, short-eared and snowy. You can tell this barred owl by its eyes; It is the only owl in our state with dark eyes. All other owls here have yellow eyes.
