I love to hear them hooting away late night and early morning.

Been there, done that! My wife and I were at Dunrobin Castle in northeastern Scotland. watched the falconry demonstration. The young man giving the demonstration was showing the Peregrine Falcon's speed when he (unbeknownst to me at the time) had the falcon come in from behind us at well over 100 MPH. He had the bird come over MY head so close I could feel my hair move, scared the crap out of me! I loved it.Great horned owl. Took this pic at a falconry demonstration in Scotland.
