Gibraltar falls

[Anthony Overs via Canberrabirds <>]

Haha, yes, the use of words might exclude a Barking Owl.

However, they do make a horrendous, terrifying, screaming call in autumn, which would lead one to think that one is to be murdered next. Especially if one is camping in Cocoparra National Park, alone, on a Monday night, and a Barking Owl lets a scream rip while perched about ten feet above one's tent.

The report I read was that it was a woman calling “help”.

Given the reports of a screaming woman at Gibraltar falls on Monday night and a police search having failed to find anything. I am wondering if there could be a Barking Owl there. Apart from the well known woof woof sound, they also make a very good screaming woman sound.
