Re: Mystery night sound

["Richard Guthrie" <>]

Hi Lang;

Thanks for the suggestion. I'm familiar with the more frequently heard GHOW
juv. calls. To me GHOW kids sound like a persistent whining brat. This one
didn't fit. It was more clipped, and after a while, highly mobile - and wha=
t
sounded like more than one.

I'm leaning towards one of the Long-eared Owl vocalization varieties, but
can say that I've never knowingly heard this species calling.

Someone suggested I bolt the doors, and keep a shaprened wooden cross at
hand.

I'll try tapes next time I hear the sounds. I'll post results - one way or
the other.

Thanks again
