The Great Horned Owl
by Sue McKinnell 8x32 Hornpipe for 3C
Bars
1-8	2C dance diagonal rights and lefts with 1C and 3C.
9-12	2C and 1C (bottom) set then dance RH across halfway.
13-16	3C, 1C, and 2C chase CW halfway.
17-20	2C, 1C, and 3C turn partners RH once round.
21-24	1C dance half figures of 8, 1W up between 2C and 1M down between 3C.
25-32	Reels of 3 on the sides, 1C passing partner's 1st corner LS to begin.
Repeat.
Note: This dance is deceptive as the figures are relatively easy, but starting with second couple can be challenging, especially starting the 3rd, 5th, and 7th times through.
Suggested music is Broadford Bay from The Skye Collection.
The area where I live has several resident great horned owls that we can often hear hooting. One day I saw one back-lit in my next-door neighbor’s tree. A couple of days later, I heard and saw it there again and was able to take a picture. I love hearing them hoot to each other and was thrilled to actually see one.
