I've never heard a Boobook making that call in 25 years of birding. If I
heard that call I'd say the typical doggy noise of a Barking owl. It can be
a bit easier when there is a pair as they do a duet, one slightly higher in
note than the other.  Tom Tarrant lives near you, could you get him to
listen as well?

 All,
 
Last May I recorded this Ninox at my place in Samford SEQ.  I heard it
calling while I was making dinner and thought wow that sounds like a Barking
Owl...made the recodings and played it for a few local mates.  I was
politely told, "nice try, but southern boobooks also can sound like that". 
I get Southern Boobooks most weeks, but never observed or heard them make
this type of call before (or since).
 
Since then however, a Barking Owls has been found about 5 k's away.  
 
The recording is ML 189700 http://macaulaylibrary.org/audio/189700

This recording has now been questioned, rightfully so, by the lads at
Cornell and has been tentatively ID'ed as a female Barking Owl, so I am
reaching out for any feedback.  Can Southern Boobooks sound like this?

Cheers,
 
Roger
