Barking Owls in Melbourne

["Barry Wilkins" <>]

Dear list,
I have been informed from a well-informed academic source that Barking Owls 
were recorded along the Dandenong Valley Parklands in eastern Melbourne in the 
past week. This to me seems an odd record, particularly given the difficulty of 
identifying this bird by call in residential areas (for obvious reasons). 
Apparently the bird was identified by the "squealing-woman" call. Has anybody 
ever recorded this bird within Melbourne suburbs and if so where?
Regards
Barry
