Mystery Solved - These are Great Horned Owlets!

Beginning around mid-May of this year I started hearing this bird for the first time in the riparian woodland behind our home. (We live in Ohio). It begins vocalizing at dusk and continues all night into the early morning. My neighbor, a bird enthusiast who has lived here for 20+ years has been unable to identify it. This is the first time she's heard it as well.

Update: many thanks to a friend who asked friends, these are Great Horned Owlets! This is very exciting as this is the first time we've heard them in the 7 years we've lived here and the first my neighbor has heard them in the 20+ years she's lived here.
