Re: Oregon Mysteries: two locations - same species?

["Barney" uskroeger]

Hi,
with the additional information regarding his recently posted 
mystery#1 recording, John has made a good case that what to me 
sounded like a squirrel or chipmunk, was actually a northern pygmy 
owl.  It would have never entered my head.  I pulled out my set of 
Cornell's Voices of American Owls and started going through the 
northern pygmy owl vocalizations.  There is indeed one that sounds 
like the chittering on John's recording.  (labeled Northern Pygmy Owl 
delivery at nest)  I had no clue and learned from this.  I'm not good 
at it, but maybe someone can make a spectrogram of both vocalizations 
and compare.

Regards
