Hi John. Congrats on your new 702. Great Horned Owl?
http://www.owling.com/Great_Horned.htm#recordings
The "Silverado Canyon, California October 2000" sample on the right 
has a pretty close match to yours. I did not know (if the text means 
to suggest it) that only the female makes this shortened call. Rob D.
