Re: [cobirds] Help with calls

Hi,

I can't help you with the whistling sound, but that screech is a juvenile Great Horned Owl. I had a similar experience, at the same time of year, two years ago while camping in RMNP. Tracked the juvenile down and confirmed they were making that bizarre sound. Both of my birding apps have a recording of an immature Great Horned Owl that match that sound as well.

Good Birding!

Birders,

For the last couple of weeks, late at night, about midnight to maybe 4 am, I've frequently been hearing 2 different birds move around the neighborhood above and below my house.  One I'm convinced is a Barn Owl by the screeching call it gives.  The recording is the last one below.

The other is the one I'm hearing right now.  It is a medium high pitched whistle that almost has a double reed (thrush like) quality to it.

It's out front and I'll try to record it again.  It's very faint on the recording at about 11 sec and again at about 25 sec. on one recording but is a little better on the second recording made a few days ago. 

Any help would be appreciated.
