    A week ago in my back yard I had an owl calling during the early morning -
    4 am'ish.
    Sounded like a Great Horn Owl.
    I had not hear any owl calling during the week.
    I did mention the fact to a few  birders in passing as cool event and a
    possible new yard bird.
    Tonight a Great Horn Owl began calling at 7:15 pm.
    I was in the garage with the door open. 
    The call was loud, so I called back, we had a great conversation ( the owl
    and I ).
    This kept up to 7:40.
    There are many older very tall trees in this area, still holding their
    leaves.
    I could not locate the bird.
    The Owl is active in the 1200 block of Ridgewood Rd, Pleasanton 94566.
    Also at 8 am today over my home there was a fly by of three Band-Talied
    Pigeons.
    On Friday 11am in Pleasanton near Bernal Ave and HY680 there was a fly by
    group of 15 Band-tailed Pigeons.
    Everyone have a good week :).

    It is more fun to arrive at a conclusion than to justify it
