Hey everyone, I’m on a personal passion project to better understand the reasons why some in Houston are struggling with finding, buying, or obtaining healthy food. My access to people is very limited right now due to the Stay Home order, so I’m using a few remote alternatives in the meantime.

If you’ve struggled or are currently struggling with this issue, what would you say is the main obstacle that’s preventing you from getting what you need? I appreciate any and all thoughts. Thank you!

I’ve lived in Houston for over a decade and I would always hear what I would think is an owl hooting. The hoots always have a distinct pattern that starts a little high and ends low.

Anywhere there are oak trees, I have heard this sound, especially in the Bellaire, River Oaks, Rice Village, Houston Zoo, Medical Center area. I don’t have a recording of the sound, but it really is just a bunch of owl-like hoots in a soothing pattern. The hoots themselves are similar to the Great Horned Owl. The hoots that I’ve heard however are in a very distinct pattern. Perhaps, it is a call specific to Houston area owl??

Does anyone know what kind of owl creates this sound? Sorry for this oddly specific question
