Barred Owl Calls To Mate | AMAZING VOCALS!

  • Опубликовано: 20 окт 2024
  • A female barred owl calls to her mate after leaving the nest briefly to stretch her legs. This barred owl call, which mimics "who cooks for you, who cooks for you, all" is the most common barred owl call.

    This is not a barred owl mating call, but is an owl call (or owl sounds) for communicating to other owls, or in this case, her barred owl mate. If you listen closely, you can hear the male barred owl call back.
    Barred owls use a variety of different sounds and calls to communicate. The barred owl call featured here is the most recognizable of the bunch. Barred owls may be best known for their unique vocalizations, especially the unmistakable nine-noted hoot that is often translated to sound like, "Who cooks for you? Who cooks for you all?" Besides that catchy call, these owls can be heard shrieking, crying, trilling, grumbling, and squeaking, especially during courtship. Sound exciting? It is! A pair of courting owls is certainly a sound to behold! The forest comes alive with the male's chimpanzee-like calls and the females' higher pitched responses.
    Here's a video showing the barred owl nest: • Barred Owl Chicks At N...

    this video is incredibly aesthetically pleasing. the lighting, the background, and the gently blowing breeze all compliment each other and make this a very calming scene. even the call of the owl is nice to listen to. the owl itself is also very beautiful, in its own way.
    maybe i'm just a little too passionate about birds.

      Hi Justin, Let us know how to order a print. While I garden I often have the chance to "talk" back & forth with a Barred Owl that lives just outside our meadery bordered by an old growth forest preserve in Chicago. I love this little guy/girl. Hope to take some pics and recordings myself, but in the meantime, I'd love to display your photo in our meadery/winery and encourage others to pay attention and appreciate delightful jewels of nature around us.... even within a city... and become stewards of nature for future generations.

    • @LeBatteur
      @LeBatteur 7 лет назад +78

      Barred Owls actually do produce a "laughing" sound. It's a territorial call- you probably instigated them to "laugh" by presenting yourself as an "unfamiliar owl". They may have felt threatened by the stranger calling to them, lol.

    • @UltraZGamerz
      @UltraZGamerz 6 лет назад +28

      @@LeBatteur So, that explains my situation. My school has a lot of owls and they probably see me as a threat and produce the really deep laughing sound. They even make a creepy lady sound sometimes.

      I had a pair in southern Kansas that loved the tree just feet from my bedroom window. It always started with the nice calm hooting back and forth and then at like 2 or 3 am they would go into a full on horror movie soundtrack. Freaked me out several morning's, I even got so sick of it one night I went out and started throwing sticks at it to now avail as it was in the very top of a 40 foot cottonwood.

      I had one follow me while I was riding my bike on a rail trail in the Hudson valley (NYS) around 10:30 one night. He flew above me at precisely the same speed I was going. Then he swooped down in front of me and arced back up, landed on a branch about 15 feet up. I stopped my bike and we stared at each other for 10 minutes before I got back on my bike and ride away, him still on the branch. One my top ten wildlife encounters for sure. I hope you see yours soon!

      You could very well have a male barred, as the call is the same. I only know that this was a female, as she had just come off the nest, and males do not sit on the eggs.

Then early in the morning, I seen them sitting in the trees close to the house.. My neighbor took a picture of one sitting on his fire wood stack. I couldn't believe how huge the owl was..He told me that he believed that owl was the cause of his cat getting attacked because he had to take the cat to the vet and get it stitched up. I enjoy this time of the season when you can see them. Thanks for the vid.. !

    We have several different owls in our area(western Washington-Great Horned, Barn, Screech, Spotted & Barred) but the Barred owls are the by far the most common & vocal around our property. I usually hear the "who cooks for you" calls, but heard a different sound(a single higher call, but similar tone)& this prompted me to look up the sound, which brought me to your video. I've developed quite a deep connection with them over the years & love to sit outside between midnight to 3am & listen/talk to them. They will often converse with you!Sometimes it's a lone owl, at times there a few, but once in awhile, there will be many talking with one another for miles around & this can sometimes result in the more crazy, excited sounds from them, which are kind words of terrifying if you don't know what it is! LOL Anyway, thank you for the lovely video of this lovely bird & I hope you all have/make a wonderful day! 🦉😁

    This is amazing! Last summer, I saw an absolutely beautiful owl in our backyard tree as I walked out the door. I was amazed because I have never seen an owl ever in my 55 years of life. I never saw him/her ever again, and had never heard him/her even then. But tonight, as my husband was getting ready for bed, he excitedly said to come listen to this odd calling sound outside our bedroom window. My grandson and I both went outside, and sure enough, we heard this very exact sound! My grandson spotted her with his youthful eyes and his flashlight, but I'm too near sighted and it was too dark for me to be able to see her. But, we now know we have at least, one female Barred Owl living close by. She called for about 20 minutes, and that was it. I'm wondering if this is the same one I saw last summer, but never heard any spring mating calls. I'm excited to learn more about her, and her mate, and her soon to be family, and where she may be nesting.

    I was woken up to this call outside my window! Living in Seattle I don't often many hear (some!) owls - so it was an extremely fun surprise being so close to an urban area. But we have a wooded creek near us.
    Thank you for denoting what kind of call this was - other videos hadn't so I greatly appreciate the specificity.
