Re: Barred owl call?

["Bruce" natureguyusa]

Yes Stan, that is a Barred Owl. The Barred Owl scream is one of the 
most misidentified sounds due to the lack of common descriptions in 
field guides. Texas A&M animal bio-acoustics department once went on 
record that this type of scream was in no way owl related, but ape-
like, contributing it to a Bigfoot vocalization. The Barred Owl is 
one of my favorite owls due to their vast repertoire of sounds.
