Hi,
Last year from my house in McMahon's Point I heard over two nights a yapping
sound intermittently emanating from Balls Head Reserve. The third night the
yapping creature moved to be sitting behind the house but remained elusive. The
sound didn't match my previous experiences of Barking Owls and didn't match any
sounds I was able to download from the internet. Unfortunately I was out of
town the rest of the week and have never heard it again.
I was reminded of this when last week when I was called by a non-birding friend
of mine who lives behind Manly Dam who said he had just seen a Barking
Owl(according to what he'd seen in his bird book) sitting on his lawn. The
following night he heard a yapping sound 'like a small dog'..a sound that he
hadn't heard before.
Any comments?
