Thanks Rich and Mark for the ID's.  I have been having a little 
trouble with the dialects.

On a side note (no pun intended), I was very excited this morning to 
find a tree that I am assuming has a barred owl's nest.  I had been 
noticing that in one area of the woods I always saw and heard these 
owls.  I had been sitting under an old snap that is about twelve feet 
tall.  This morning when I approached the area I saw this great bird 
coming out of the center of the snag. Guess I was a lot closer than I 
thought. I hope to get some great recordings from a distance.
