Thank you, at camp I kept hearing the "Who cooks for you". I always thought that was a great horned owl! I learned a lot with this short. Vid. Awesomeness!! 😊
Years ago in winter, I got to listen to Short-eared Owls barking at each as they hunted a field in a snow storm. Barred Owls caterwauling in the woods at night still the best though.
I've heard Great Horned Owls in the past, but just this part week, I discovered there's a pair of Barred Owls near me! I'm still hoping somewhat I'll hear a sweet lil Screech Owl, but I'm thinking I'm not north enough for them where I live. Maybe someday in my travels, I'll find one... Great video, Derek, thanks so much!!
@@BadgerlandBirding right ever since I was a little kid I thought that noise was an owl lol. Always hear it if your out in the country between 7 and 8 in the morning always
Thank you somuch for this video. Yes I had a disagreement with a neighbor one time that swore it was an owl, but I knew what a Morning Dove was. It was m8ce to hear some other owls. We are surrounded by woods and I often hear an owl but have never seen it.
I've seen great horned owls, barred owls, and an eastern screech owl in the wild. I really like great gray owls and snowy owls even though I've never seen them.
I heard something over by my creek last night and I think it was an owl. It was a screeching , cooing sound and rather loud. Let me tell you, I ran back into my house when it started. It was one scary sound.
Do owls grab onto the tree bark and stay on the side of the tree or do they always use a branch to sit on? Can they climb up the tree without flapping its wings like a squirrel or cat?
THANK YOU. I heard screeching in my neighbor’s yard last night and it was pretty creepy. I think I heard a hoot too. I walked closer and a bird flew to a tree closer to me and kept screeching, then it flew to a branch directly above me and I got out of there because it felt threatening haha. Now I’m pretty sure it was a barn owl! It sounded like there might have been 2 of them. What’s their behavior like? The screeches were longer than in your example. Maybe it’s just the nature of the screech but they sounded angry. Would they have been defending something like a nest or prey and telling me to go away? Or maybe they were “arguing” with each other and one started to retreat?
Hi! I’m in Alabama (off the coast), & I have something outside my window (2:30am) that sounds like one really long whoooooooooo then a pause & then another whoooooooooo. Not like a whooo whoo whooo but just one long whooooooooooooo ..what could it be?
Thanks for much for including the mourning dove! I heard its call all the time growing up, but I never knew what the bird was. I always assumed it was an owl. Awesome video!
Ive had the huge owls around for years. After a close friend died they hung out by my bedroom window at night a for 3 nights they hooted together very loudly for long periods of the night
Thank you for this. I was so perplexed at what owl I was hearing that sounded like Al Pacino saying HOOWAHHH. Definitely a pair of barred owls. Also my favorite owl.
Thx for vid but didn’t hear the call. Starts like a howler monkey or other monkey yelling then does the normal hoots. I live in MI among a lot of pine trees
Thanks for the video!! I moved to far out area and I just heard the "who cooks for you" with a grawl and the end 😂 and I was thinking that's an odd dog bark so I started looking up animals and owls came in mind, this clarifies things for me.

@@rosagonzalez4847 that’s great!
Excellent, clear video. Thank you much.

Definitely doesn’t even sound like an owl
Just heard a Eastern screech owl in front of my house. Your video helped confirm it.
3am. Found this video because apparently I heard a Barred Owl when I let the dogs out and HAD TO KNOW
Haha, glad you figured it out!
Me too. It’s 4:15 am and I heard this annoying hoot over and over again outside my window. Couldn’t sleep anyway so thought I’d look it up lol
Exactly the same thing here!! 2 Barred owls
10:36 this video helped me convince myself there was no monkeys in my woods
@@mrsoupcangaming4478 that’s important. It definitely sounds primate-like
Seriously!! Thank you, the mourning dove was the answer for me!! I won't get fooled again 🎶❤

I long to see owls, I have only seen one in the wild, but I have heard several. It always thrills me!
Eastern screech owl really says honk shoo…mimimimimi….
I've heard the mourning dove millions of times and thought was an owl now I know
What a prankster lol

Great video! I was able to identify what we been hearing here, it’s a juvenile Great Horned Owl. I’m so glad you included that.
It trips a lot of people up so we thought it’d be helpful :)
I've seen great horned owls, barred owls, and an eastern screech owl in the wild. I really like great gray owls and snowy owls even though I've never seen them.
I got to hear a great gray owl vocalize this past winter
That’s pretty epic. Not sure if I’ve ever actually heard one.

@@wandamiller5344 mammals make a lot of weird screaming noises too. Opossums can make some odd noises, especially if you’re not expecting it
That Eastern Screech Owl sounds like an Ostrich chick, which was used for one of the sounds for the Dilophosaurus in Jurassic Park.
That’s a great fact!
Cool, I just learned I've been talking to a great horned owl in the dead tree near my house! Thank you, this was a great video.
@@m.e.c.1007 glad you enjoyed it!
Do owls grab onto the tree bark and stay on the side of the tree or do they always use a branch to sit on?
Can they climb up the tree without flapping its wings like a squirrel or cat?
They actually can climb up trees, specifically young owls will do this. However they normally fly up to their perches.

In the summer of2023 there was a mourning dove outside my window every morning i I'd wait for it before I started milling about in the morning.

I hear one in my backyard first time ever living here 20 yrs ago
Thanks for much for including the mourning dove! I heard its call all the time growing up, but I never knew what the bird was. I always assumed it was an owl. Awesome video!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it
I am astonished to realize I have actually heard the Eastern Screech! Thought it was a tree frog though, ha! Thank you for this - great info!!
Ive had the huge owls around for years. After a close friend died they hung out by my bedroom window at night a for 3 nights they hooted together very loudly for long periods of the night
I was outside tonight and heard a bird call. Thanks to your video, I now know it's an Eastern Screech Owl!
@@hollyz5260 awesome! Congrats on the find!
Great primer on owl sounds. Thanks.
There are Barred Owls where I live.

That sounds very much like a Barred Owl

I have only seen great horned and eastern screech owls. Possibly snowy and barn but I would be too inexperienced
I have 2 in my yard today after asking fir signs. Scratching though
Screeching
Thank you for your awesome video!
You’re welcome! Thanks for watching!
