Oh, I hope you get some pics! Great Horned Owls are fairly common here in NJ, but I love to see them. My BIL calls them "flying footballs" because of their size and shape.
Heard a Gray Catbird singing as the sun went down tonight, first time I've heard them this year. Pic below is from a year or 2 ago.
I love catbirds. And they DO sound like cats. Years ago, we had a genuine cat (a very young kitten) crying in the tall grass next to our house. My husband said, "It's just a catbird". Good thing I didn't listen to him, because that kitten wound up becoming our much-loved pet. But the little guy really did sound like a catbird.

As long as it isn't raining they'll usually be out back at sundown. They start with the cat call, then switch to singing before it gets dark.

I had one a few years ago that used to keep me company whenever I took a chair into the yard to read. We'd even 'talk' back and forth sometimes.
The grey treefrogs were LOUD this evening. It sounded like there were dozens of them. What a wonderful sound. My husband and I stood on the back porch, listening to them.
I MIGHT have seen an Eastern Kingbird this morning. Just a glimpse, driving by, but he was sitting atop a half-tree, and had that particular head.
Never saw one before!
