For example, the terminal tremolo on a Barred Owl's call can sometimes be given in isolation - once scaring the guano out of a volunteer of mine when it happened from only 10-20 m away. The owl pages (http://www.owlpages.com/index.php) is a great source of owlish info. Here are links to two typical calls, Great Horned ( http://www.owlpages.com/sounds/Bubo-virginianus-6.mp3) and Barred ( http://www.owlpages.com/sounds/Strix-varia-1.mp3). I suspect these are distinct enough for you to id your bird...if not, maybe we have something more interesting. As for the books not giving enough information, I think you nailed it on the head when you wrote: On 3 March 2010 14:09, Stephen Shaw <srshaw@dal.ca> wrote: > ...snip...This lack of info [in North American guides] is in > marked contrast to some UK books that I grew up with which had all this > stuff in spades, although I don't think they were called field guides. > If all the information was to be in one book, it would not be called a field guide, since it would be too big to bring into the field.
