I second Robs contributions and I will never be the one to say a mkh
is a beginners mic. His work has helped me along more than I can say.
That's a Long-eared Owl on the short version at 4 secs and 15 secs.
On the long version between 16 and 18 mins. It is a "whoop" call.
Not a Great Horned Owl as they eat Long-ears. Until two years ago I
heard a lot more of the horned than any other owl species. Those
days are likely gone but that gets into Cowbird politics.
