Never thought we would hear a Great Horned Owl on our roof!

Not sure if this has any relation to the full moon, but the bright moonlight was definitely helpful to us in spotting the owl in the dark. I do wonder if it has found its way here as our neighborhood has been quite popular with hawks (see references) - many times, I have seen them swoop down to a prize catch.

Interesting how the owl has returned again night after night.

For a long time, I've watched the neighborhood crows gather on the same cypress tree (https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/61228632). After each meeting, they fly far out into the Presidio and various parts of the city.

Recently, I start to notice them on our neighbors' rooftops:
1) when it was very foggy (https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/61754040) and
2) an hour before the rain (https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/65133231)

I wonder if they are checking on each other whenever there is a change of weather or sharing the locations of their food cache?
