Voices: Barred Owl

There are few sounds in nature as raucous as the calls of Barred Owls. Listen as The Cornell Lab's Laura Erickson sets the scene.

Yeah, these little bastards live around my house. They tried to go after my dog when he was a puppy. Little fuckers.

Incredible audio. I was camping in North Florida last month when I first heard the awesome calls of the Barred Owl. I'm hooked.

LOVE hearing these at night. I believe we have a pair nesting across the road because I hear these calls every summer. The calls are always the same though as if the same male/female. But sometimes I see two.

To hear the sound that I'm talking about, see my video at piper1233. Ignore the bird on the light pole, I was positioning the phone mic for better sound clarity.
