Glad you like it Martyn. I used my SASS with MKH 20s. Recorded in central
Florida in the Alexander Springs Wilderness Area in Ocala National Forest. I
camped along the river and happened to be close to the youngster. So I set
up my SASS and recorded all night long from inside my tent. I got plenty of
very exciting adult action, even closer than in this recording.
What a wonderful recording of Barred owls Lang, What system did you use for
this, it certainly sounded up close and personal!
MKH/20 in a Telinga?

When the animals come to us,
Asking for our help,
Will we know what they are saying?
When the plants speak to us
In their delicate, beautiful language,
Will we be able to answer them?
When the planet herself
Sings to us in our dreams,
Will we be able to wake ourselves, and act?

Certainly sounds possible, the area is full of Barred Owls, in fact two
adults were calling far away toward the uplands from there about a half
hour before. None calling in the immediate area.
This one differs from what you have in Stokes in that it's got a rising
inflection at the end, in every call. And it's periodic every 12-15
seconds, no variation in timing. A much more organized calling than yours.
And these were definitely at ground level. One, in fact was in a grassy
muddy wet area down in the old river channel that also contained calling
green treefrogs. Though too far away and too dark to spot. There were at
least three, in entirely different directions from me. The one I
recorded was the closest, directly across the swamp filled channel on
the dry land beyond. One did give a single short call series while
moving, same call shortened and at very close intervals. I suppose a
adult could have set that off, but it certainly gave no call.
First time I've run into this call, though the adults are common in the
woods swamps down here.
