Many of us hear owls, but do you know what kind of owl is making the sound you are hearing? Let us know!
🦉🍂 Five owls. Five unforgettable calls. One quiet October night.
When darkness settles over the backyard, the woods come alive with sounds many people never stop to identify.
A tiny Eastern screech-owl may give a trembling whinny. A Barred owl calls, “Who cooks for you?” A Great horned owl answers with deep hoots, while a Barn owl can sound more like a scream than a bird. And somewhere overhead, a migrating Northern saw-whet owl may give its steady, high-pitched t***s.
🌙 Try this tonight: About an hour after sunset, step outside, turn off the noise, and listen quietly for five minutes.
You might discover that the darkness has been full of voices all along.
