Barred Owl Calls

[@CajunAdrienne]

I think barred owls are the coolest sounding owls. I love their hoots!

[@celmonico]

Very well said.In my opinion they are the owls with the most range of different calls of all owls. They have a beautiful variety and I cannot get enough of their calls. I use this video to bring them to the back of my house and from my back porch I enjoy them gathering around on trees in my farm and start the calls repeating the same sounds they hear on this video. I already thanked the people that posted this video because I am atracting them every time I want to see them up close.

[@CajunAdrienne]

@@celmonico That's so cool!

[@markm5638]

I have 3 in my neighborhood in Lafayette Louisiana, I played the calls tonight and they all responded, so much fun

[@CajunAdrienne]

@@markm5638 I'm near Lafayette 😜

[@urmumg6491]

Right

[@esta1ful]

Yeah we had them in our back yard in oklahoma. It was the coolest thing ever. When several of them are perched around on different trees and exchanging calls on a dark night it makes you glad to be alive.

[@emsadventures1154]

It's like they talk back and forth. That's what I'm listening to out my window as I write this

[@crystalcurtis3176]

It's so amazing, I have two different Broods... They are so majestic, And very curious the little fledglings come down and drink out of my dog's water bowl when I'm out here so I gave em a kiddy pool, a platform I feed them off and I'm so obsessed that I'm actually building two boxes for the end of September so they have places to nest

[@V.U.4six]

I hear owls but seldom see them 😔

[@seuthsayer]

Oh yes, in Arkansas, early in the morning…. before dawn, I’ve heard chorus’s of them calling out echoing throughout the mountains…… early morning turkey hunting trips. Gods creation is so great !

[@ATLLEO1170]

It scared me I thought it was cayote.lol then found this video

[@americasquilt4760]

I play this on a Bluetooth speaker outside right after dark falls. Owls come flying in to figure out who the new resident is. They land in a big pine tree right outside my front door and stare at me. This recording has been such a source of joy for me. Thank you so much for posting it 🌹

[@jessicaallen901]

I volunteered at a wildlife center years ago and there was a barred owl there named " Otis" he had a wing amputated so he was there being rehabilitated and he was my most favorite animal there. He was so sweet. I remember him making noises from his room. Last I knew they moved him to an owl sanctuary with other owls so he wouldn't be lonely.

[@dingaonhockey]

It's that the one that got hit by a car? There's some woman on a KZbin video talking about an ambassador owl who lost his wing.

[@margaretlocke7607]

Their calls are hauntingly beautiful. They are curious creatures and watch humans often

[@Orca19904]

I've heard them around where I live, but I've never been able to spot one. Their camouflage is incredibly effective.

[@katelb3508]

I told my husband like 100 times I kept hearing a strange animal noise and tonight he FINALLY was outside when it happened. So happy to find out what it is finally. What an awesome, beautiful creature . Even tho it scared the pee out of me at first.

[@softpawsasmr]

Some years ago I was at a quarry in the middle of the night and heard this sound. It was so haunting and beautiful. I was trying to figure out what kind of bird it was. I can't remember who I asked to help me figure it out, but I described to them the sound of one of those impact wrenches auto shops used to remove lug nuts from a car tire. At the time that's what it sounded like. This particular bird. The person immediately knew I was talking about a barred owl. I'll never forget that amazing sound in the distance on a warm summer night

[@beingweirdisnormal1404]

I finally found the owl i ever occasionally hear in my back yard. I love their hoots.

[@cheeseburgerwalrus499]

I hear barred owls almost every night down here in FL. Such beautiful creatures. I used to bowfish at night and always had at least one curious barred owl (it might have been the same one, who knows) who would land on a pylon on the dock and just watch me. I remember cleaning a fish late one night when I felt this sudden gust of wind behind my neck, looked over, and about 5' away there was a barred owl perched upon a pylon just observing me. The amount of wind their wings had pushed was crazy to me because I heard absolutely nothing. If I didn't feel that short gust I would have never known it was there.

[@rhythmfield]

That owl wanted some of that fresh sashimi

[@justin2308]

0:47 The bird that photobombed this owl’s picture was later found dead that night with talon marks all over him. The owl was questioned but no proof was found that she was the murderer.

[@cameltrophy3]

I have a pair that live in the trees behind my place. They get busy more than I do.

[@crystalcurtis3176]

[@lindajohnson7838]

We have had Barred owls for many years. Here in central Minnesota they are like old friends stopping by for a chat. Our kids love calling up to 7 of them into our trees. They only call when it is calm and peaceful in the woods. It makes me feel safe. I feel sorry for city folk who only have street noise to fall asleep to.

[@johnwriterpoet1783]

I have them in my backyard in the city in Iowa.

My family and I just saw one of these in our backyard just before sunset in Maryland! One of the prettiest birds ever!

[@tomminephsenshi6477]

Yeah some of em pop up here in Maryland from time to time. They're adorable.

[@KM-li1jl]

I was camping last night and I heard this right outside the camper. Had never heard it before and it scared the crap out of me. Now I know what it is.

[@riomochaccino2108]

Was not expecting the photo of mating owls 😂The male looks beyond thrilled to be there.

[@mr.boomer8794]

[@buffal1000]

I had heard these owls in the late evening in the woods behind our home in Maryland, but never could see any. I played this through a Bluetooth speaker on our deck and within 5 minutes we saw 2 beautiful and BIG barred owls fly over, then perch on a limb 40 feet above. Both were hooting back! It was so cool.

[@nonebody2601]

Was once sleeping outside in a hammock and heard a very loud wailing followed by one of these calls. I was pretty sure it must be an owl but it didn’t make it any less frightening in the moment

[@marcydebbie]

I was just dozing in my hammock and guess what woke me up? It was in the tree right next to me. They are such a cool bird

[@Lambent_Omega]

I just had that happen to me where I heard a long sound that sounded like screaming or cheering and then followed by what I can best describe as "regular owl sounds", so i think this is what I heard?

[@FriklFrak1]

Your video is so important to me. I play it and the owls come straight to my house. Thank you so much. I play and pause and listen for responses. It is so enjoyable.

[@GTX1123]

For you city dwellers who recently moved to a heavily forested area, just wait until you hear your first fox call. They sound like someone being murdered. During the rut if you get too close to the tree line the bucks will snort/grunt at you. The first time it happened to me I jumped like 5 feet sideways. And then there's the great blue heron that sounds like a prehistoric man eating lizard.

[@naturallyemi]

😂

[@thistlesmom2706]

My daughter in law got to hear the vixen scream right outside our window. My son went outside and the fox was sitting in front of my concrete German Shepherd statue. They make an unbelievable noise.

I have to say… I play this all the time in my back yard. So fun to hear the owls start calling!

[@jimhenry3926]

I have been listening to these at night in the woods behind our house for years and never actually saw one. Then yesterday this big old thing went chasing another big old thing past our treehouse at twilight. It was huge. I went to the Sibley guide to determine which is the biggest owls in our area (southern Delaware), and the Barred Owl it is. How magnificent. Thanks for the recordings!

[@gregmulligan2878]

Just moved to a new place. Saw an owl flying between the trees just at dark. Got an idea. Searched the net, found this vid, and i can call them down to the fence, sometimes to ground in the back yard. These animals are magnificent. If you do not see them, you never know they are there. The female landed on the fence the other night and she is awesome. These guys rule the night. Ultimate predators. I got one in the tree right now. He is calling. It makes me realize how small i am in the big picture. Humans can not create this. What else is there? Glad to be alive!

[@stefpher8530]

I use this clip too! Last year, during the day a female sat on branch of neighbor's tree, and watched me work in my gardens. She would occasionally give me suggestions if I asked. Oh my! There is one right above me.

I went camping with the bf last weekend and started making this owl's call. He thought i was just playing around making some strange call... well around past midnight, one started calling around us and i started calling back. We mustve had a 20 minute conversation until another owl joined in and i started audio recording the ordeal. My bf was laughing hysterically because he thought i was initially joking around and ended up communicating with a couple. Best animal whispering experience to date.

[@HighTechRedneck9]

Hear these guys, as well as Great Horned Owls, all around my home in Kentucky. They always seem to be talking to each other. Beautiful birds.

[@MissouriPA]

The great horned owls are about the only threat to the barred owls, so they’re probably not having a very pleasant conversation. Hopefully there’s enough food around for them to co-exist. I would think that the great horned owls would prefer easier prey if available, but I don’t know that to be true. Maybe they have huge egos & prefer a challenge so they can show how bad-ass they are. Or maybe to protect their young… They should give peace a chance, but I wouldn’t trust it! Lol!

Make sure there's no big flock of crows around (they are a-holes that pick on owdles) and play the owl calls out of a speaker into your woods. He will be right next to your window within 30 minutes. Also be inside. Owls are just slower hawks and will F* you up . Dont do it more than once or twice tho it screws with their head and they actually might think another owl has moved into their territory and will leave after that.

It’s a full moon and these sounds similar but I just dead azz heard a Sasquatch. I’m seriously anxious lol, cause we have Bigfoot here in our valley. Peeing my pants right now.

I relate to this on a personal level.

[@fredrickvoncold]

They are in my back yard , they sing every once in a while . I saw some babies perched in a tree awhile back, in southwest missouri. I like to hear them at night.

When I first heard these in NE Florida it was very late at night and at fairly close range. Not familiar with these owls my first thought the source sounded like a monkey. I’ve heard them multiple times since and was prompted to search for a logical source, discovering these birds. Beautiful bird, although that is an unusual call.

I hear these guys/gals here near my home in eastern KY. Just heard one make a monkey type noise, thought I'd look it up. Now I know I have Barred Owls around. Thank you for the info, the calls. GOD made everything so wonderous. The fine details of each type owl, each and every flower. It would take more "faith", to be an atheist. But u have to humble yourself, look at that animal, that flower, with humility. THEN, my educated friend, u may see, know. For "GOD resists the proud" and the learned.

I was watching this at oir local boat ramp and the owls in the trees around me went nuts. Lol

I live in South Tn. way out in the country, right in the middle of town. I have woods surrounding 3 sides of my place. There have been 2 families of Barred Owls living on my lot, (for over 50 years), one in the woods East of my house and one family west of the house. (I imagine several generations of them) One starts the song out and the other answers it. If I do my hobbies around 10:00pm or so, the West family gets upset with me. They get a worble sound going. When I get quiet, so do they. THANK YOU for posting.
