Our home is in the Chattahoochee forrest up in the Georgia mountains. I hear Great Owls And Barred Owls every night. Pretty awesome.

I long to see owls, I have only seen one in the wild, but I have heard several. It always thrills me!

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!!

[@evtheencyclopedia8945]

I got to hear a great gray owl vocalize this past winter

[@BadgerlandBirding]

That’s pretty epic. Not sure if I’ve ever actually heard one.

[@rosagonzalez4847]

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!! 😊

[@BadgerlandBirding]

@@rosagonzalez4847 that’s great!

[@lorirober2536]

Excellent, clear video. Thank you much.

[@hollyz5260]

I was outside tonight and heard a bird call. Thanks to your video, I now know it's an Eastern Screech Owl!

[@BadgerlandBirding]

@@hollyz5260 awesome! Congrats on the find!

[@miab9854]

I thought i heard a great horned owl across the street talking to one down the road and had to find a video to make sure i wasnt being crazy:)

[@BadgerlandBirding]

Hopefully the video helped assure your sanity!

[@user-qw5pm6lr9d]

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.

[@meeschers]

Just heard a Eastern screech owl in front of my house. Your video helped confirm it.

[@GreatGray8790]

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.

[@BadgerlandBirding]

Definitely doesn’t even sound like an owl

[@Beryllahawk]

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!!

[@mdevore548]

Great primer on owl sounds. Thanks.

[@77DSeven]

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.

[@MsTiNa56]

Thank you for your awesome video!

[@BadgerlandBirding]

You’re welcome! Thanks for watching!

[@erkayderky]

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.

[@kwinslow88]

Seriously!! Thank you, the mourning dove was the answer for me!! I won't get fooled again 🎶❤

[@kalinadesseaux8011]

THANK YOU

[@BadgerlandBirding]

YOU’RE WELCOME

[@KarenBenningfield-dp7cu]

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

[@Gromper7878]

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?

[@lindaeshbach6494]

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.

[@jennieorrthomas5141]

Thanks!

[@leedee4968]

😮

[@ghostgirlasmr]

Eastern screech owl really says honk shoo…mimimimimi….

[@OntarioBirding7538]

I have only seen great horned and eastern screech owls. Possibly snowy and barn but I would be too inexperienced

[@dalelydiard4307]

I have 2 in my yard today after asking fir signs. Scratching though

[@dalelydiard4307]

Screeching
