<p>
	It was Sunday night, and I had just returned from my home in Allegan, Michigan. Walking up to Willow house, I found my fellow intern Kevin standing outside in what I could only assume was a proper welcome back to campus. I quickly discovered that wasn&#39;t the case. Asking him what he was doing, he replied, &ldquo;I hear a barred owl.&rdquo; Needless to say, I dropped my stuff off, and we immediately headed into the woods to find the owl. We listened to it call for about 45 minutes, often standing directly beneath it. Even though we never actually saw it, just listening to its beautiful call in the night was an unforgettable experience.</p>

	Another encounter I was blessed with also happened late at night.</p>
