The Distinctive Calls of Owls: A Sampler

  • Опубліковано 25 лис 2013
  • Most owls are nocturnal, and they use their voices to establish territories and attract mates in the dark. Several species begin nesting during as early as midwinter, which is one reason why you can often hear them in fall and winter, when most other birds are quiet.
    For more owl sounds, check out Voices of North American Owls, macaulaylibrary... available through our Macaulay Library. This comprehensive audio guide is highly sought after and no longer available on CD. The digital download includes nearly 200 audio recordings of North America's 19 regularly occurring owl species, plus two rarities. The accompanying 28-page booklet contains detailed text and color photographs about each of the owls featured in the audio download.

    I'm trying to identify the owl that's currently having the time of its life outside my window. It's 1am and my search continues.
    3yrs later update: It was a barred owl. There are apparently several in my neighborhood. Every now and then, they scare the crap out of me. But recently there's been a new noise. It's a horrible shriek, but I haven't looked that one up yet.
    Another update: I think the random shriek was a fox. According to my neighbors, there's a family of foxes that live behind them, and they constantly leave corpses around, such as rabbits. I don't know why we've never encountered them on our property. I can only assume it's because we've always had dogs that 'claim' the territory. Plus, there is a rarely seen extra large snake that likes to hang out in the garden or under the deck.

    Illustrator Judy Pelikan pairs her delicate drawings of birds with excerpts and poetic mini-essays taken from a 1904 Field Book of Wild Birds and Their Music by F. Schuyler Mathews, an erudite naturalist, birder and musician. Matthews descriptions are absolutely stunning and the relationships he explores between actual music and bird song thrilling.

    I hear Barred Owls all the time when I'm on camping trips. There was this one time I was camping and it was either really late or really early. Anyway, I was awake for a few minutes, and I heard an owl swoop down outside my tent, and grab a mouse or something, and there was a lot of rustling and screeching, then it flew off. And I just laid there thinking "What just happened?" Lol

    Wow. I've been trying to identify that screeching sound the barn owl makes for a long time. In my region (northern california) there is some kind of animal that makes that noise... but it only calls once (not in a repetition like the owl in this example). It does not repeat reliably, making it very hard to find the animal (never seen it), it may call again after several minutes pass... but again, only once with a lot of time passing before calling again, if at all. I suspected it was a bird, someone tried to tell me it was a raccoon, but now I'm sure it's some kind of barn owl.
