The other night, after many nights of the screeching, I was awaken about 2:45am to the screeches. They woke me up because they sounded like they were screeching in the open window. Outside on my fence was an owl. About 10 feet away from the first owl, on the sidewalk to my front door, was another owl.

Opening the front door to the house to investigate scared them. One owl flew into the woods, the other up onto the phone lines in front of the house. I called to the owl on the phone lines while it was looking at me. The owl in the woods flew back to be with the one above me and they both watched me as I hooted at them (neighbors may think I’m nuts). A passing truck scared them both into the woods.

The owls came back after I had gone to bed again. Their screeching was keeping me from falling fully back to sleep. Something strange then happened. I was annoyed with the owls by this time but not wanting to scare them or hurt them I decide to just mentally acknowledge them. I felt like I mentally reached out and let them know I was aware of them and that the screeches could stop now. At that moment they did (the hair on my neck is standing up as I tell this) I haven’t heard or seen the owls since.

My internet research leads me to believe that they were barn owls based on the noise they made and their color. What could this mean if anything??????? I’m not nuts, just curious. The kicker is that I’ve just recently started to research intuitiveness because of the many recent hunches I’ve had that have come true. Could this be related????

About a week ago I went for a walk with my friends, and we sat down at a clearing near a cliff edge. While we were talking I noticed a hawk (I’m pretty sure it was a hawk; the area we were in was Canada, Ontario, Hamilton). It was in flight at this time, and the second next time I looked back up for it, it had gone.

After some time had passed I looked back up again and saw two hawks. They were both in flight, circling, but going in different directions (clockwise vs. counterclockwise). At one point it looked like they were about to collide with one another (they were still circling one another but one went higher in the air while the other was going lower).

This experience really had an impact on me, and I was hoping you could provide insight as to what it could mean. Lately, I’ve been going through a very hard time with someone I’m close to, and have been very confused as to what direction I want to take the relationship in (and having been unsure about what to do, I’ve put thoughts regarding that person on the backburner…I know, not a good idea…). I’d appreciate any advice you can offer.

Thanks

I find no coincidence in your posting a comment about your hawk experience and my own encounter with a young hawk this morning while “shades drawn” (that is, meditation). I concur with your instinct – the hawk can offer great strength and encouragement – dispensing steely focus in our times of fuzziness (often born from moments of fear or doubt, which are synonymous, really).

Thanks again for sharing your thoughts here.
Namaste!

As from my other comment post, the first night i heard the owls calling, immediately the next day there were two Red-tailed Hawks that had perched near my home area on street lights. Then I had seen two hawks flying, then another red-tail perched on another street light driving down the freeway, and two more hawks circling and being harassed by a bird. It was awesome sighting them around. The following night I heard the two owls calling/talking to each other. Then about a week after on the day I was leaving for college I saw a red-tail riding the strong winds when I was at the gas station. As I observed the hawk, it glided right above where I was standing, and I stared at the hawk wondering what this meant and why I didn’t have my camera, while it just remained at that spot for about 20 seconds, then the wind guided it away. I was quite pleasantly surprised, and I felt like I was encouraged and supported when I was nervous and reluctant on going back to the college I’m at. Then as we drove off down toward the freeway, I looked back and saw a large hawk flying close to the ground towards my direction. Wasn’t sure if it was the same species hawk, but it was still wonderful to see. I’ve always felt a connection with hawks, especially the red-tail, its always a pleasure catching sight of them.
