Barn owls are terrifying. I went to clean out an old deer stand once and found a nest of fledglings. They hissed and squawked like crazy. There were three. 2 alive and one dead. My dad was with me. I said "Oh no. One didn't make it." He turned to me and replied "I think those two killed him because he was weak." To this day I don't know if that's a true fact or not, but I believe it after hearing those sounds and looking into those big dead eyes.
My dad and grandfather used to call them pony owls! A West Virginia name for them I'm guessing! I've never heard them called that outside of my home town!
My parents have screech owls living in their backyard here in Texas and I love hearing them. They currently have a baby in the house and I believe it’s the baby we hear the most. Probably ready to take flight soon! 🥰
🦉Yeah, I hear quite a few odd sounds when camping in the forests, and ^now i know which animal was making one of the most common sounds i hear there after dark.
When I was young there was a lady who came to our school to discuss owls, we did so much research on them leading up to the assembly, the screech owl was by far my favorite and I even cut out a few pictures of them to keep perched on my shoulder as a "paper pet"
My wife called me outside tonight hearing this sound and I had no idea what it was so I had to some look it up. I am 53 years old and been in the woods hunting, fishing or hiking all my life and have never heard this sound in the wild until tonight. Pretty awesome!
Tonight I used this video recording in Asheville n.c and played it on a loop from My phone that I sat on my table in my yard. I had not one, not two but three of these eastern screech owls fly into the trees about 15 feet from me. I got a good look at two of them and only heard the third. I’ve been trying for six months on and off with this video to call to try and get one to call back to it. I’ve been hearing the same owl I thought for the past five years here but I was so amazed to get three to come show themselves! I felt like an owl whisperer for about 20 minutes as they swooped from tree to tree in front of me.
Alex, I found this recording of the 2 different calls made by our friends. The 1st one I ever heard was one calling their mate, tremolo, and frankly, it scared the poo out of me!
You should never use audio playback. It disturbs owls, really any birds, making them think there is a potential intruder in their territory. It can make birds waste energy unnecessarily that they need for hunting and feeding/caring for young. It can also bring in predators that want to eat them who are now aware of the potential presence of a screech owl, like Great Horned Owls. Some birds may abandon territories all together because of it. I have seen 40ish owls in the past year without ever using an audio call. Research what you want to see and put yourself into the right location and time. I've had sightings in 18 of the 28 weeks of 2023 so far. Had one day I found 10 in 4 hours. You don't need to put animals at risk to see them.
Me too!!! I was taking my husky out at like 2am and I heard this in the forest in our backyard👀 ....first thought, monkeys🙉🙄 ...then I was like, insect🦗😶 ...never thought 🦉😅
I live in WV. Just across the border of VA. My cabin is along the Cacapon River, and I have had familys of Screech Owls living in the woods around me as far back as I can remember. That whinnying they do can get a bit creepy late at night, especially if you're alone...but I love listening...
@@bwcok7947 yeah man, go mountaineers and Hampshire. I actually went to high school across the state line in Frederick cty, at James Wood high school, so I back both schools, and I try to attend all the home games.
Have been trying to figure out this sound in my yard all night. Finally found it thanks to this video. Thanks!! Its actually very calming considering the name of the owl.
My mother and I loved to hear them. We learned to imitate them and they'd get so close around the house while we were on the porch it seemed we could just walk out to one of the trees in the yard and touch them. They're so pretty to hear.
I’d LOVE to get even a glimpse of one of these little cuties outside. I’m listening to 3 of them right now outside my house (I live in the woods), and there’re calling back, so maybe I’ll get lucky and see one!!!
I live in coastal Virginia and thought I heard a siren tonight, but it was only the decending part, so I thought... bird? We have a lake in the backyard and many trees and birds, and have heard pairs of Great Horned Owls most winters. But after turning off my fan, I got a better listen tonight and I believe it was one of these guys! I'm still at the window listening for more, but right now it's just millions of bugs and frogs. Thank you for this! It's the best sound capture I've come across!
So cool! I love the way you captured it coming out of the nest and the audio is amazing, easy to see why it's called whinnying, nice capture thanks! 🦉😃👍
I was just cleaning a bucket outside 30 minutes ago and heard one of these guys. I got my mom and a family friend and we walked into the woods looking for him. We got within 20 feet and didn't see he was sitting on a little sapling branch right in front of our faces. Showed my brother when he got back later and he flew off quiet as ever
We vacation in the mountains. At the cabin, we sit around the Campfire by the Lake and one of these sweet little Fellas comes out every evening and Sings for us... Very enchanting.
I just walked outside to sit on my back porch and heard one. I knew it had to be an owl, but I wasn't sure what kind. Thanks for the video and helping me determine which one it was.
Well done !! This is my favorite hooting owl!! I heard them in Southbury CT and Little Mahanoy PA. I didn’t know what they were before investigating all the owl sounds .
when i was a kid i lived in the maryland woods and i used to be able to make these sounds. they attract so many different birds such as cardinals. i wish i still knew how to do it.
I’ve heard this call from time to time and always figured it was an animal in distress. Tonight the mystery was solved when I followed the sound to one of these little guys in a tree
I have a pair hunting my backyard. It took me a while to figure out what was making that sound. I was quite surprised to learn it is owls. I live in the city but have quite a bit of trees in my yard to provide them coverage for hiding in.
I hear this so often at dusk in virginia in the country.. and i always wondered what it was.. i lived in va 30 years.. but always in the suburbs and never heard this until the country
Sounds like a little lamb or something similar. Heard this call from the woods at night for so long before knowing what it was coming from. I’d be walking my dog (RIP) by the woods and hear the owls. I thought it was tree frogs cause that’s what I was told. I now know different lol. Never knew till that point that screech owls do not screech
Hah that is it! They're around my camp in the Smokey Mountains. Super pretty sounding but I've never heard something like it before, especially at night. Do they by chance like the ground because it sounded like it was there sometimes.
Came here looking for screeching I heard in the middle of the night. Okay, so screech owl don’t ‘really’ screech. But barn owls do. At least i figured it out and can go back to sleep knowing it wasn’t a demon outside in the forest by my house.
This sound scared me outside , I thought a little girl was crying lol but I knew it was an owl because I was the only one outside and my dogs. Lol I went inside fast lol
July 5th, 3 of these little guys showed up at my house. They've all been back every evening since. They usually come at dusk 830pm, then take off anywhere from 1030-1130pm. This is their call. I wish I had a better camera to film at night. 😎🤙
We have a group of very small owls that visit us at night. But I can't figure out what they are. Google has not helped. They sound like a tree branch bending. I live in Kansas. Any one know? Thought they were screech but vocals are off
Still haven't found the bird outside my window. It's past Midnight in Europe, and it goes HAAH ... HOOH-HOOH-HOOH. Or maybe more like HEEW instead of HAAH. Any help?
Got to hear and see one of these little angels on a walk a few nights ago. such lovely little guys
I didnt know they sounded so nice, it actually sounds like a cute cartoon ghost!
Ditto

For being called screech owls, their sounds are quite peaceful sounding compared to the intimidating hiss and screech sounds that barn owls make.

They will scream or screech sometimes too. Sounds sorta like a high pitched human scream.

I like this soft, subtle call of these species....you can easily fall asleep to it.
So very cute. One woke me up last night right outside the window. Was very loud. :)
Have been trying to figure out this sound in my yard all night. Finally found it thanks to this video. Thanks!! Its actually very calming considering the name of the owl.
heard these cute little babies outside at night in Florida. I love Owls so much 💓
My mother and I loved to hear them. We learned to imitate them and they'd get so close around the house while we were on the porch it seemed we could just walk out to one of the trees in the yard and touch them. They're so pretty to hear.
Best! Sound! EVER!
Agree
Pretty sure this is the exact owl who’s near my house now. What a pretty little voice.
Thanks for making this. I used it to identify the 4-5 little guys I have hanging around my property.
I’d LOVE to get even a glimpse of one of these little cuties outside. I’m listening to 3 of them right now outside my house (I live in the woods), and there’re calling back, so maybe I’ll get lucky and see one!!!
I love where I grew up and live, I wouldn't trade the country for the nicest home imaginable in a city or urban area
