Mystery swirling in night sky over Woodland Shores! Wow!! Did anyone else catch that crazy sight in the night sky tonight around 7pm? We were just arriving home and when we got out of the car we were STUNNED to see a sight that was like something out of a Sci-Fi space series.

Who cooks for you? Who cooks for you??? Owls calling to each other in the woods of Woodland Shores is one of my most loved sounds. And the Barred Owl is my most favorite of all.
