We had a ton of Short-eared Owls show up last winter. They're total dicks to each other and to other raptors, but they're fun to watch.

I'm staying with family and think they have a Great Horned owl living somewhere nearby. I can hear the "whoo-HOO-hoo-hoo" right outside the spare room window but can't tell where he is. Great Horned owls are best owls and have wicked looking tufty eyebrow things, and it's close to Halloween, and this is totally rad because I wanna find where he is and take some pics. Like, he sounds super close, either he's perched on the roof or he's in the neighbor's yard somewhere.

Where are you staying? The quadruple-whoo could be a Spotted Owl, which would be pretty neat - those are quickly being displaced by the spread of the Barred Owl and may not be around for too much longer.

My family live in eastern Nebraska, we're pretty close by and I'm staying with them while I recover from a rough hospital emergency last week. Did a little checking and found there are several owl species native and my parents have seen a pretty huge Great Horned frequently around them, they say it usually perches on their roof or on the neighbor's house. Here's exactly how it sounds, just muffled slightly because I'm indoors: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AwEi6TMrOWc

Owls are the greatest :) and we all know you can't spell Halloween without "owl"

We sometimes get Long-eared Owls in one of the wildlife areas around Humboldt Bay. The White-tailed Kites that nested in the same grove of trees would attack this one if it came out before sunset, so I only got to see it in the open during dusk.

No wonder owls always look like they're judging us, with folks walking around with their dongs waving in the breeze

Posting a picture of a picture of me in :frogc00l: early 90's shirt, pet cat, & my favorite owl.



Thanks to mild poisoning at some point, he had no fear of anything and would sit on your feet like some sort of chickencat. Despite the :goshawk: OD, he fostered something like 40 Great Horned Owl chicks for a rescue and met thousands of school kids before passing away at almost 20.

So I was looking up neat owl calls and such to contribute...here's the Scops Owl, a dapper fellow indeed


Whose call sounds kinda like a radar or other unbirdlike beep-boop machinery
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Km3D2jq1HoQ

And more owls of varying sizes and types, I especially like the small ones like Saw-whet owls, they're so tiny and inquisitive :3:
