Owl Talk

With a boom box in hand Dr. David Aborn scanned the darkness listening for the faint sounds of one of the forest’s hidden treasures:  

Owls.  

With a handful selection of cassette tapes and an ear for night sounds Dr. Aborn, a UTC professor and ornithologist, entertained members of the UTC Wildlife Zoology Club here at Reflection Riding. 

During a recent 2 hour night hike the group searched for the Eastern Screech Owl, Barred and Great Horned Owls.  

According to Dr. Aborn owls are territorial and if you emulate their hoots you can lure them to you.
