We head the hoot and looked up and there he was, right on the wires above us. We looked at him and he looked back at us. After a minute-2, we walked away and he flew to a new spot, again very close to us, again alighting on the wires. It was amazing, his wings made zero noise. This happened 3 times before he flew away to a tree. Such a wonderful experience of him people watching and us bird watching.
