Benjamin et al.,
This one also sounds fine for Barn Owl in terms of tone, pattern, etc., and not right for Great Horned. But odd to hear it doubled like that. They usually give single, well spaced notes. best, Michael Michael O'Brien Victor Emanuel Nature Tours www.ventbird.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Benjamin Van Doren" <bmvando...@gmail.com> To: "Michael O'Brien" <tsw...@comcast.net> Cc: "Ethan Duke" <ethan.d...@mrbo.org>, "NFC-L" <nf...@list.cornell.edu> Sent: Tuesday, October 2, 2012 11:42:15 AM Subject: Re: [nfc-l] head-scratcher Hi Ethan, All, I recorded this possible Barn Owl on May 1 of last year. No Barn Owls occur in the area in which it was recorded (so presumably a migrant), but it does sound very good for this species in my opinion and definitely has a similar rising inflection. Great Horned is also a possibility and nests nearby but I think Barn fits this call better (more of a "white noise" feel and hissing quality). Thoughts welcome on this one.
