Night singing
From page 125 in the book.
Owling. Nearly 20 species of owls occur in North America, offering plenty of nighttime listening for those so inclined. Owls who offer great listening opportunities are the ubiquitous great horned owl (♫370, ♫453, ♫577) and the two screech-owls, eastern and western. A favorite of many owlers, for their hair-raising, demoniacal caterwauling, is the barred owl. Here's how you could get started: Around Christmas every year, countless birders join the Christmas Bird Count throughout North America, now extending into South America. Find the count organizers in your area and join those "owlers" who will be out in the night, prowling about for whatever owls they can find.
