Used to hear this way, way off in the woods some nights. In my house in rural middle AL near a county hwy, but lots of woods behind us. Something so ethereal and otherwordly about that sound! Thnx for posting!
I'm so lucky to have a mated pair behind my place in the woods I hear all of the time... It's a great treat that never tire of... You should hear when they do the "monkey call' !... Look it up on TY, if you have never heard it. I was the chief naturalist for a state parks nature center, and would go on night owl calling hikes with a group of folks to call them in, in a remote natural environment. These Owls are absolutely silent in flight, and many times would land unknown just yards above us in the trees, and start their calls. This would startle the heck out of even the most steely nerved person, in the best possible way. It was so amazing for folks from urban areas to experience this, heck even country folk who had heard them before, but never almost on top of you! Those chipmunks are very wise to call the alarm, as this owl loves small rodents VERY much, so please don't use poison bait to control mice, etc. Great video, thanks for sharing.
I have a couple mated pairs or maybe a pair and their older offspring living near me. I thought I was the only one who called that sound the “monkey call”. Heh.
A barred pwl loves in the trees just outside my window. A lot of people think his song is creepy, but I look forward to it. I find it soothing. Every night he’s singing. It’s seems to be the only constant in a chaotic world. I see him as a friend.
finally i know what kind of owls i hear outside my house at night. i only ever hear them at night and dont get the chance to see them, but this is exactly what i hear.
Wow! SO Majestic. Hauntingly beautiful... SO " Bad-Ass" i hear them, MUCH more than i can Spot them from my back yard. Lol. Adore hearing their Cry..their Call...The Owls really add that special touch...to an ALREADY beautiful winter night.
We have a brother/sister pair in the neighborhood. The first time one of them hooted just outside our window, I thought it was some drunk teens on a bender. We keep our small dogs close on nighttime walks with this pair around.
Beautiful! The fact that 358 people disliked this video made me realize that there's still 358 forty year olds living in their parent's basements hating everything. Love your content man.
I have a barred owl that came with my property. He lives outside of my window. He torments my dogs and gets them worked up when I am working (I work from home). I love how they sound like they are drunk.
I had a couple of these I was living up in my tree and some mornings I go out around 3:00 in the morning walk around in the yard and wake him up and they start making that racket very cool❤
I just moved a week ago to a very rural, quiet town and I hear hooting every night. This is the closest sound to what I hear every night, but the pitch is lower. It's the same cadence though.
Nice owl! The first thing I heard sounded like a couple of chipmunks sounding off - they drive me crazy when I am hunting, especially in the fall. Seems like they won't quit until you get up and go somewhere else.
I just heard 2 of these talk to eachother and had to find out which type of owl it was. I know there’s 2 cause they made the same sound but one was faint and one was loud aka closer and farther
Just trying to figure out what I heard the other night. This is exactly it. Two of them. It seemed like they were trying to find each other. The calls kept getting closer together then stopped
I've got several of these owls living in the woods around my house...I hear them all the time. This video dosen't give them justice...they are LOUD!!! I love them.😊
Yes, they can be quite loud! I heard a couple of them about 3am in rural central FL. I'm guessing they were at least 75 yds. away, and their calls were just booming between the open tree canopy. It was very cool.
It's 1:25am. Im in Northwest Ga and just went to the bathroom about 10 mins ago. The window was open and I heard this same exact noise kind of far off in the woods behind my house and everytime one would make that hoot another one would do this freaking crazy sound that I can't describe. It was an almost donald duck but not sound. They only do it at certain times. Freaking amazing animals. I never ACTUALLY see them though. I wish I would though.
@@thatonecubchoo1541 I was gonna say bird calls seem to take a lot of effort and most birds seem to pit their whole body into it. Besides small songbirds that is, who just seem to belt out screeching melodies with no effort whatsoever.
My dad saved a Barred Owl once! It had been hit by a car and it was freezing so my dad took it home and let it warm up and after a few days it flew away just fine. If it hadn’t recovered so well we would have done the several hour drive to the raptor sanctuary nearest to us to help it. Happy endings are great. We called him Birb.
I have two large pine trees outside my window and there were two of these guys hooting back and forth for 4 hours, it was peaceful at first, but after a while it got annoying...
i just heard two outside a few minutes ago and they sounded like two monkeys yelling and i was VERY confused cause i live right outside a big city. didn’t even realise they were owls until they made a second noise that sounded normal lmao
@@jacer445u5 I heard the old saying when you hear they called it singing.. when you hear it They are calling death. Don't know if it's true but don't want to take a chance. LoL 😂
When we first moved from the city to a rural property with lots of trees I woke to this sound in the middle of the night. Freaked me out! But I went outside to check and directed my flashlight up to see a beautiful owl staring down at me! Since then I just love hearing them (along with many other wild animals) call to each other in the night 😊
To me at first I thought it was a horse with metal horseshoes walking on a road or hard surface. But it didn't sound like it got any closer or further away.
@@CatmanOutdoors that LOUD tapping sound (as described like a horse slowly walking) is a chipmunk? sorry, but it seems way too loud for anything that small.
I feel this is the best one so far of hearing owls talk it was beautiful it was like music to my ears just like I was right there thanks 25 thumbs up I loved every second of it beautiful birds🦉😁🦉
I'm pretty sure that banging you hear at the beginning is the clucking of a chipmunk. That particular sound is a warning that a hawk or other bird of prey is nearby (i.e. a warning that that Barred Owl is near).
Thank you for your video..was awake 3:00am-4am this am hearing an owl and was curious what kind. I found your video and identified it as the Barred.Owl, thanks to your video. I live in Southern New Hampshire, had never heard this before. Full moon night with a Barred Owl hooting, tough to stay asleep but definitely a beautiful treat! Thanks again!
William Reely And yet, that instinct leads to some human-like behaviors (such as a maternal instinct and raising children) that raptors can do better than a lot of humans themselves? I think humans and animals have different orientations of intelligence. Our intelligence is mostly learned with underlying instinct whereas animals have mostly instinct with the capacity to learn according to different environments and treatment. Animals aren’t just systematic creatures or organic robots. If you look, you can see that there is definitely something more there with a lot of them.
There’s a Barred Owl that lives at the local Nature center. She lives in a small enclosure because she has a busted wing. I occasionally visit her when i go for walks. I think she might recognize me
My husband and I walk in the woods a lot in central Georgia. When we go early in the morning (right after dawn), we hear them. Recently, around 7 am, one swooped past us and left a feather. I collect feathers. I feel especially close to the Creator when I find certain feathers. It is very interesting to find out where others have heard them.
Same here. I wondered what the sound was each night until the other day I saw that glorious creature. He looked straight at me before flying back to the tree on the side of my house. He's howling now.
I have barred owls in my backyard, and I really wanted to see them. Being the idiot I am, I grabbed a flashlight and pulled this video up and started playing the vocalizations. apparently one owl was interested because it swooped down two feet in front of me! It was terrifying, but amazing.
I love how their faces look like if you cut an apple in half
🤣 i can't unsee that lol
ViperRulerlm look up a barn owl
So cute
I always thought they looked like masks
U low i.q. MF's!!! This is a BARN owl - NOT a BARRED owl - no such
owl even ever existed!!!
Owls are the most amazing and beautiful birds that I have ever seen. When I lived in the woods, we had one that would come around once in awhile.
That is one badass looking animal! My favorite animal. The owl
Which breed? There are hundreds. (personally mine is a common barn owl, aka Tyto alba)
Nothing is more soothing than hearing owls hooting at night. I haven’t heard any in a while 😔

I was hearing one at night and at first thought it was a distant dog, until I realized it was making the same exact pattern every time.
finally i know what kind of owls i hear outside my house at night. i only ever hear them at night and dont get the chance to see them, but this is exactly what i hear.

Coolest bird on the planet!! Want to go camping on the river!!
Owls are the coolest

I love owls!
We are amazing animals.
I occasionally hear one of these talking around my house.
So Beautiful just Beautiful

What a beautiful bird . Kinda scary sounding out in the country at night thought .
Man heard this while helping a friend put up his climber today and thought it was a Bigfoot howling how load it was.
So cute.
Who cooks for you, who cooks for you'all?
Its 4:43am and I'm watching this..
Nice capture!
Dude I heard that and I freaked out I’m in a cabin rn in the middle of nowhere South Georgia
Awesome footage Catman!
We have these in North-Central Indiana. Sometimes they sound like chimpanzees. 🙉🦉🌙
0:22 started making a beat there 🕺🕺
exquisite!

I wanna be this owl in my after life
the laughing owl
well that answers that. Thanks!👍
So nice beautyful thank you.
We have one by us and he is loud so cool.
What's the noise in the background?? It's what I keep hearing in the south Georgia swamps....
Nevermind... found it in your other comments. Chipmunk!!
He's saying get off my lawn.
one of those is making that sound in my back yard and it’s so annoying i’m trying to sleep
It looks like an old russian lady wearing a babushka
I just searched up this video cause of soviet womble
They are night roosters 😖
hopefully hes gonna eat some of those chipmunks that are driving you crazy
Wolf: then i huff and i puff and i blow your house in! 👿
Without add or visitor only recommended thanks
The face of the owl kind of looks like an elderly Russian lady wearing a shawl.
What the fuck hahha
Or an elderly Italian lady! Looks a lot like my great grandma🤣🤣🤣🤦🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️
Я люблю маленькую бабушка
OR *BABUSHKA
Babushkowl.
when i was small everynight i heard some owls hooting and honestly that cured my anxiety of being in the dark
The Wanderer lol
thank your local owl club
@The Wanderer why you gotta be an asshole about it?
Because it took him over an hour to come up with the WAAAAANDERER. LOL NKW THATS THE BIGGEST TRUCKLOAD OF HORSE SHIT IVE EVWR HEARD!!!
Same but barn owls screech and its terrifying in the middle of the night sometimes 😂😂
I've got several of these owls living in the woods around my house...I hear them all the time.
This video dosen't give them justice...they are LOUD!!!
I love them.😊

Wow! Thanks for info! I still love hearing owls when they come to visit my neck of the woods and chant their sound - one of God’s awesome creations!
No owls like this in New Zealand , you are very lucky to have this , nature is so beautiful 😙
Hear on this video because they are making the exact same sounds outside my house as well haha

I like how they fluff up when they call so cute!
It must take up a lot of breath to force out such a loud call is what I’m guessing
Fluffy birds are so adorable
he's tensing up to scream

Beautiful experience. Thank you for sharing your journey with us! Blessings 🙏🏼✨🌕🍂🦉🌟🌻🤍
Heard two of them hooting back and fourth this evening outside my house what an experience
They sound great if you do not have to listen to them for two hours back and forth. It can get annoying.

Just Looked this Up at 2 in the morning to confirm it was an owl keeping me up :/
Every house I've ever lived In had a Barred owl nearby. Or the same one is following me 🤣
Lmao me too!!! I just looked this up because the damn thing is making a ruckus outside of my window. I hope the bunnies are safe
Lucky you 😂
Haha me too!
I swear, the face on that owl almost looks human.
It looks as if a bird fell face first to a concrete and that flattened the face lmao
idk what humans you've seen.
@@zoologistvince2664 Some faces that look like this owl.
This is the first time hearing what an actual real life owl hoot sounds like. I'm only heard it in cartoons and what not.
It's so cute and beautiful!
Do they like pine trees? Cause I have a pine tree in my back yard and I can hear 2 of them go back and forth
Great Horned Owls actually do hoot like in cartoons.
He's saying "Who cooks for you? Who cooks for y'aaaaaalllll?"
Andy Black Done any turkey hunting lol
WDE!! That’s one call that can get the turkeys gobbling!
Andy Black No doubt I remember those exact words. Learning how to hoot
I have one of these guys living in my yard, he likes to land on my roof and call for a good two hours before leaving

I heard one hoot 6 days ago right outside my window, scared me to death.

Cute!

I love owls. Such mysterious and fascinating creatures.
The hooting is just *S O O T H I N G*
Better singing than most modern artist.

What do you suppose was making that tapping sound. Too rythmic for a wood pecker
Chipmunks. They squeak when they see danger on the ground and they cluck when they see predators up above
almost like airraid sirens that we use .
To me at first I thought it was a horse with metal horseshoes walking on a road or hard surface. But it didn't sound like it got any closer or further away.
@@CatmanOutdoors that LOUD tapping sound (as described like a horse slowly walking) is a chipmunk? sorry, but it seems way too loud for anything that small.

SO CUTEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I bet he is happy
So this is the owl-type I hear outside my home at night...
I live in the swamp, and there's a bunch of these where I live. I love when they're calling and lull me to sleep.
I’ve got woods behind my apt and saw two of them perched on a branch the other day. Was amazing.
It's awesome finally knowing what the owl I hear every night looks like.
Beautiful animal, I love how when you look them in the eye, you can see how wise they are
Dalton Pinell nah. That’s just us humans, humanizing animals to what we think or want to think the animal is thinking or feeling
SoundCzech Ah, so you’re saying animals can’t feel pain.
Justin Williams Not even gonna interact any further with you than I have right now.
Owls are not particularly wise or intelligent at all. They operate almost entirely on instinct, as do most raptors.
William Reely And yet, that instinct leads to some human-like behaviors (such as a maternal instinct and raising children) that raptors can do better than a lot of humans themselves?
I think humans and animals have different orientations of intelligence. Our intelligence is mostly learned with underlying instinct whereas animals have mostly instinct with the capacity to learn according to different environments and treatment. Animals aren’t just systematic creatures or organic robots. If you look, you can see that there is definitely something more there with a lot of them.
There’s a Barred Owl that lives at the local Nature center. She lives in a small enclosure because she has a busted wing. I occasionally visit her when i go for walks. I think she might recognize me
My husband and I walk in the woods a lot in central Georgia. When we go early in the morning (right after dawn), we hear them. Recently, around 7 am, one swooped past us and left a feather. I collect feathers. I feel especially close to the Creator when I find certain feathers.
It is very interesting to find out where others have heard them.
While I don believe in a god, I think that that's a beautiful way to look at feathers, as a beautiful example of the intricate beauty of creation.
Always loved the sound of an owl.
I have one hooting out back right now midnight west michigan. thanks for sharing! helped me identify the call.
I came for the same reason! I"m in NE Metro-Atlanta GA. I have Owls of 3 species in my yard.
Same here. I wondered what the sound was each night until the other day I saw that glorious creature. He looked straight at me before flying back to the tree on the side of my house. He's howling now.
I've heard a pair talking to each other at night for many years..
Heard one of these in the middle of the night once. Must have been right outside my window. Creeped me out and definitely woke me up!
"WHO COOKS FOR YOU...WHO COOKS FOR YOOOOOOOOU!"
I heard an owl outside and had to look up my native owl species, now I know it was a Barred Owl ❤️
It's like a SONG! I LOVE IT
Cutiee ❤️. I love this animal so much.
