b'Female spotted owls have a call that doesn\\u2019t sound like it should come from a bird of prey. It\\u2019s high-pitched and unrealistic, like a squeaky toy that\\u2019s being squeezed just a little bit too hard. Lots of people who hear them in the woods don\\u2019t even realize that they\\u2019ve heard an owl. They assume it\\u2019s a bug, or a dog running wild through the evergreens, beloved chewy bone clenched tightly in its jaws. | Copyright 2015 by Seanan McGuire.
