I have checked my collection of MN Barred Owl trills. Here in MN I
have only found trills on the end of the call and not the beginning.
Linked is a few examples I found in haste. But as can also be heard
when they get going they can sound strange and do whatever they want
with their voice.

I like owls a lot and will briefly brag that I did after four months
trying, record with Mark's help,(of this list) screams and tremellos
from both sexes of Northern Hawk Owl last week.
Now point me toward a Short-eared Owl nest please.
