barking owls in Deakin

["Jenny Smits" <>]

Hi All

 

Could anyone point me in the direction of a juvenile boobook call online?

Jenny, the trill call of the barking owl is very similar to that of the young boobooks. Given that boobooks are (relatively) common around town, and barking owls would be rare, I would assume your birds are boobooks. Photo would be great!

Hi everyone this is the call that came along with my barking owls this morning. Will check up tomorrow morning for the 100% Visual ID for those questioning the call ID. And fair enough.

At least two (more than one) juvenile barking owls were trilling this morning in Deakin 5am.

 

Probably after the rats that just moved into our backyard.
