The sound was similar to juvenile GHOs but also somwhat similar to Barn Owls (uncommon here). The individual(s) moved in an arc of arounf 500 m when approached. Was never able to get a clear view of an individual, but usually seemed to stay in the canopy around the edge of our pastures. > > Does anyone know if juveniles are still begging this time of the year, and if so, do they remain stationary or move around? > > Andrew > > ________________________________________ > From: naturens-owner@chebucto.ns.ca [naturens-owner@chebucto.ns.ca] on behalf of AngelaJoudrey [aljoudrey@eastlink.ca] > Sent: October-21-14 9:37 PM > To: naturens > Subject: [NatureNS] Juvenile great horned owl calling > > My friend came to take me outside to listen to a call she had heard while dog walking.

I googled owl sounds when I got home and we can both say with certainty that we heard a juvenile great horned owl shrieking. > > I have heard great horned owls on occasion in two different areas of Windsor ( NS ).
