Nice! Like the Pig Frog.
In this the chicks are still in the nest, I presume. In what I've got
they are out roaming around. Have you run across them at that older
stage? These ones you have are not near as organized callers.
Right now we are in the annual Redtail Hawk circus. We have Redtails
that nest on the back of our place in the woods, and when the young
leave the nest each year we get weeks of amusement as they learn how to
be dignified hawks. With not much success at first, they tend to learn
hunting in our front field. The rabbits are safe as long as they lay off
laughing long enough to run once in a while. The hawks do not give a
chick call at this stage as far as I can tell, just adult type calls. I
expect owls are no different in the learning stage.
