Index of Subjects A couple of mornings ago I was rudely wakened around 6:20 AM (already light then) by a loud 4-note motif coming from a tree somewhere outside, from what sounded like an owl. Over a few minutes, the call was repeated several times, Huh-hoo, hoo-hoo. The last 3 syllables were delivered at a similar low pitch, while the first 'Huh' was pitched a little higher, but not by much. The time gap between 2 & 3 was longer than that between either 1 & 2, or 3 & 4. Couldn't see the caller at all. Looking in Sibley, this seems to be a best match to the call of a Barred Owl. Does that sound like a correct guess? Are they common? -- don't seem to hear many owls here. Steve Halifax
