[karljaye5555]

Owls are so cute :3

[Sabre503]

amazing he was responding to your lame call, i'll give it a try...

[jmream1]

He's so silly

[naturegirl999]

Your imitation owl calls are REALLY bad, but this guy responded anyway! Good for you!! I call Barred Owls in up at my cottage on summer nights. It's so cool.

[ajayinthelife1]

I grew up in the suburbs of Connecticut and there was a mated pair that nested across the street from me growing up. You could hear them at night. Sometimes they wouldn't shut up. I think they're cool to have around but I swear to god some nights when you needed the window open when your mom wont turn on the bloody ac like a normal person and fucking loud as shit owls won't let you sleep so you get swamp ass with the window closed all night. Fucking owls. ........I loved them though srsly.

[lucas2718]

What a magnificent creature. It's always a treat to hear them in the wild. And when you also get to see them, well that's simply a gift.

[caitlyngandy14]

I got 2 or 3 owls that do that.. its called the Barred owls "laughing"..

[emomagician3]

Owls are sooooooo lovable <3

[onehundredandfourty4]

His hooting is a territorial call and he's probably 'telling' you to leave his territory. :)

[undeadpresident]

I had an owl like this claw me in the head today....I think it's probably best not to fuck with these birds.

[krazeelocomiststuck]

Who cooks for you, who cooks for y'alllll? :P

[damnlogin]

Good job guys -.- next time take some 1000watt HIDs

Nice owl and and quality though :)

[rorygherbert1990]

they spend most the day sleepy i bet they need a distant conversation some times :)

[Serena28229]

Owls are very social ^^ They like to talk to you and theyre curious =3

[Funwiththesaints]

Good thing that wasn't clockwerk...

[JRock005]

@ 00:32 the owl is like WTF? Then looks back to see if any other owls are around because he couldn't believe that that was you.

[TheCopez11]

You know you just blinded that owl for the rest of the night and it will not be able to eat that night lol

[TheDamnFarao]

Its interesting that the owl does the same exact sound every time he makes a noise. Very cool lol.

[bipth]

"Who cooks for you, who cooks for you alllllll?"

[slapurmommaz]

WOW WOW WOW! How fortunate you are to have him stay around w/ the light. Most owls are spooked by light. You can see how he reacted to your call, even though it wasn't the same species. Beautiful video of such an awesome bird!

[barn524]

@slapurmommaz actually I guess they like lights. I put up some lights last summer outside and suddenly I was hearing owls all night long, had the house surrounded and they were calling to each other.

[katmatally]

At 1:46 it looked like the owl was saying, "I keep trying to tell him the right call to make, and he keeps ... goofing ...up!!" Nice video!

[ballsthatclank]

:33 - WTF!

[nflati123]

Lol @ 1:41!!  :D

[Roesch03WRX]

holy crap. we get these alot in ohio i hear them at night and i knew it was an owl but not sure what kind... but THAT call is the exact one im used to hearing...freaking awesome

[kd4adv]

Owl spotting :)

what Candle Power is that light?

[kd4adv]

Owl spotting :) 

[Tsumefan2]

owl is like WTF whoooo said that? XD

[EvilThingsNme]

Talking with owls is so fun

[forthewin277]

awwwwwwwwwwwwww cuteeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!! <3

[MichiganUni]

Who cooks for you, mr owl?

[kazeet456]

That was a big one...I can't believe you just you let it go. At that range one shot with a .22 would have bagged you a very nice dinner. I love owl meat.

[polymerclaycreatable]

@kazeet456 idK! what city you are from but here in america it is illegal!to shoot barred owl's they are currently going instinct . u must live in some other country because here owl shooting is all illiegal

[JULYINJULY]

@polymerclaycreatable He appears to be a troll.

[polymerclaycreatable]

@JULYINJULY Exaclty. he is a owl shoot-cowarrrddddd

[JULYINJULY]

@kazeet456 Your comment, is an education to us all that inbreeding has negative side effects.

[kazeet456]

@JULYINJULY My, aren't you touchy.....

I'll point out that eating chickens, ducks, and turkeys doesn't seem to be a problem. What's the difference(other than owl tastes a little gamier, of course)?

[JULYINJULY]

@kazeet456 point taken:-)

[zerker12312]

i love owls

[maxeythecat]

Such a beautiful sound....I'll never forget the first time I ever heard one of these gorgeous birds. Would'ja believe it was in Hollywood?  Yup, despite living in such an overurbanized area, critters have managed to carve their own niche...coyotes, squirrels, rabbits, skunks, possums,deer, red tailed hawks as well as owls ...if you know where to look you can see 'em living right under our noses. An owl used to perch in the palm tree outside my window, hooting like mad at round 2AM..so cool!

[kapwns]

its the mothman, here to tell us what bridge is next!

[jsbach15]

I had a baby barred owl visiting me every day! He/she? would sit on my fence in the afternoon. I'd leave a small piece of raw chicken out for the owl, and he/she would gladly eat it! One day the owl didn't come. I'm sure he found himself another owl and they have a bunch of baby owls now. I will always remember that little owl.

[naterock69]

where were you when u took this? were you outside your house or out camping and if you were outside ur house ur backyard looks awesome

[golsonkp]

my friend hit an owl with his a car on accident. it got stuck in the radiator.

[wyattlisadana]

Hooters are awesome!

[TimmyGal]

Awesome!!

[RalleyWolf]

Nice footage. Beautiful specimen.

[paracletelux]

Barred owls aren't really bothered by lights. We had a couple at my parent's house in VA, and they would sometimes be out as early as 6 PM during the summer, in broad daylight. They tolerate people and noises much better than other owls, too.

[Searcydeshler]

This is awesome! I don't get to see them much. They see my chickens but I don't see them. Thanks for this.

[redfeettube]

Wow cool vid. I like when the owl responds to the calls. LOL Thanks for posting.

[cavs200]

how could 5 people dislike this????????????

[azgeogirl]

@cavs200 I think some people are scared of owls. The question then becomes, why are they watching videos of owls?

[cfavreau]

Really Cool Video. I have never seen an owl like that before!

[barrusDemonPlucker]

"why is it day already?"

[social3ngin33rin]

Must be think

HOLY FUCK IT BRING TONIGHT!!!!!!

It's saying to the other "owl,"

IS IT JUST ME OR IS IT BRIGHT OUT HERE!?!?!?

[fancycrow]

Very cool!

[catatonicable]

I need a rat.

[amazstar]

Whoooo Dat?

[bugninja80]

Why would someone hit the dislike button? What were they expecting to see?

[djAmiracle]

owls are awesome.



[Ancientpeople]

so cute

[wiskawind]

Great video! (smile) How beautiful they are, I wish I had Owls living near me! Thank you so much!

[captaindiesalot]

We hear them all the time in Sarasota, a spectacular bird!

[hessian144]

jealous i am! i never get to see owls lol

[feenixrising10]

did you hear it and go looking for it or does it show up in this tree regularly?

[mikwid]

LOVED this! Thank you for letting us see.

[Modacolorist]

That owl is cussin' you out for blasting that bright light in his face.

[DawnShereeJoe]

go doctor doolittle...it's obvious there is a slight dialect difference but i think it was a productive conversation overall. Im in the middle of negotiations with the Robins and Swifts out here regarding eating more grasshoppers out of my garden. so far so good except they want me to get rid of my cats...

[MishuTaste]

I think it said, "Where are the mice?"

[wateryskipper]

awwwsome......

[croftonsioux]

Cool video! I can remember a time a friend and I were walking a trail in a city park at around 9pm. There had to have been around 20 owls all calling throughout the park. It was cool and creepy at the same time. The most I've ever heard at one time.

[WannabeDetectiveAlex]

owls scare the crap out of me. I don't know why, they just give the creeps.

[Jink5]

Someone's gonna get abducted soon.. It starts with an Owl.. :D heheheh

[detubator]

Oh, it's Moloch!

[NOCNOTCAUGHT]

Beautiful bird - crisp video! So did you ask how many licks it takes to get to the center of a Tootsie Roll Pop? :-)

[GREENPOWERSCIENCE]

@NOCNOTCAUGHT i was thinking the same thing:-)

[TheLowEndTheory]

@NOCNOTCAUGHT lets find out......... i took 34 lol

[TheLarry5444]

@NOCNOTCAUGHT LAWL.

[edstar83]

There's something about owls. They're Amazing.

[PiPphiltitley]

a nocturnal hunter with a very bright light shining in his specialized eye. mmmmmm

in my book not one of your best moves with your nature vids.

stay safe pip

[Flyborg]

Owls are kind of cute when they're not being creepy. And the hooting kind of sounds like someone going "mmhm-mmhm-mmhm". It's very muffled.

[neptuneey]

Gorgeous fella, i get a Owl in my back yard most nights. A real treat thanks for posting.

[fumanshu888]

wise animals

[lucyedinburgh]

Was that you calling that he was responding to? You didn't specify and then you did ask him to fly for you! They do not really mind light. I made the mistake of singing to a mockingbird outside my apt. every few years he comes back and sings me 'love songs' all frigin night! This year when he started I heard a crow screaming at him and I asked the crow if he could chase him off or at least ask him to be quiet- haven't heard the mockingbird much since. Birds are smart and so Cool! thanks

[poerik]

the wisdom keeper ..

grtzzz

[amfikz]

owls are awesome birds!!

[suppos]

that was pretty sick when u asked if he could fly for you guys

[paraboleh]

hm hm hmhm hm hm hmhmmmmmmm

[PX213]

I have to wonder how bright that light seems to an animal made to hunt in complete darkness.

[pubtor]

does it have to do that when making noises?? lol

[fallendrgn]

Truly a treasure to see at night

[TRAMBUSTO88]

"The Fourth Kind"

XD 

[WICKEDMAN9MM]

Animals need privacy too, you know...

[TheBenEEeee]

Don't know about you guys, but when I think of Birds + Solar Furnace, I'm thinking weapons testing.

[kbarwell]

When you hear the Barred Owl's all is well with the forest.

[woosley69]

1 douche bag!

[nadadreamer]

translation : take that light & go away im trying to hunt im hungry

[MattBlytheTheOne]

@nadadreamer haha more light "whats your name are you new around here? wanna come up on my perch woohoo" lol

[ThisIsMySockAccount]

@nadadreamer OMG! I was about to say, " He's saying, "if youre going to shine that in my face and ruin my nights hunt ... make me a burger or something would you?"

[jazz61021]

Who cooks for you, who cooks for you? Nice vocalizations!

[Robert697]

They look like a giant batman flying at night. They're friggen huge, and they're not shy about buzzing you. There are a few around my appartment here in Central Arizona.

One time I was taking a flight out of Sky Harbor airport at around 11 at night. As we were taking off, the plane was struck by one on the co-pilot's window. We took off, but had to turn back and land to clean it off. HUGE mess. Thankfully it didn't hit the engine.

[youtubasoarus]

Beautiful animal.

[brob1969]

A while back I was camping with a group of friends, we were drumming around the campfire and an owl came and landed in a tree just above our heads. Within a minute or so he was literally hooting in time with the drums. He ended up hanging around for a couple of hours; it was a cool experience.

[Probewitch]

Nature tries to communicate. Maybe it wanted some fudge.

[Joell5678]

Thank you for sharing

[RoboTekno]

Mr. Owl, how many licks does it take to get to the tootsie roll center of a tootsie pop?

[joshcryer]

HAHAHA! I can see Dan outside howling and his wife coming out and saying "WTF!" Fun video. :) Thanks for sharing!

[yusufer5000]

Owls, everyone is fond of owls

Except for mice and shrews and Simon Cowells

And you know why they come for you

The owls in your dressing room, the owls in your gravy

Even if you hide at sea, there's owls in the navy

[deathenvy99]

@yusufer5000 WEEBL!!!!!! *high five*

[yusufer5000]

@deathenvy99 Haha you know it! *high five*

[deathenvy99]

@yusufer5000 yeah :D

[kmg501]

Gorgeous bird.

[shoelessjohn]

Yeah, great job, lets shine a 2000cp spotlight in it's face so that it can't hunt for the rest of the night.

[ricande]

@shoelessjohn

:'( Yeah..

[browntown72]

@shoelessjohn shining a bright light into an owl's face will not effect its vision in the slightest as their pupil's have a wide range of adjustments to allow just the right amount of light to strike the retina. Many owls are able to see better than human in brighter lights. If it felt threatened or impaired in any way by the bright light it would have flown away.

[GREENPOWERSCIENCE]

@browntown72 Yep, they actually hang out by super bright street lights up the road.

[IloveSPIDERZ]

@browntown72 AND they've been known to actively hunt during he daytime.

[micromause]

@shoelessjohn

That's not always true...

"Since Owls have extraordinary night vision, it is often thought that they are blind in strong light. This is not true, because their pupils have a wide range of adjustment, allowing the right amount of light to strike the retina. Some species of Owls can actually see better than humans in bright light."

Google: owl eye adjustment

It's the first result.

[oseart5556]

@shoelessjohn wow

[micromause]

Nice! It flew when you asked it too! =D

[Twistx77]

Really nice vid! Thanks!
