The area is ringed on three sides by tall trees.

There are three owls that hang out there all the time. Three different kinds of owl.

The little guy, about 8 inches tall, is the loudest. Sounds like a woman screaming. The big one, 16-24 inches, is more The who-who type, but he screeches loud, too. Middle guy, 10-12 inches, is just loud and brown. They seem to meet up sometimes, there’s a big screaming match, and then all goes deathly quiet.

Very spooky.
