Thanks for watching! If you enjoyed this clip, be sure to check out my barred owl compilation video here: th-cam.com/video/frVz4K4QiKM/w-d-xo.html Cheers!
all birds do that! it has to do with them not being able to move their eyes very much/at all! search Hypnotizing a Chicken i can't explain how it works in words but the video gives a pretty good example
I heard some owls calling one night and j got my owl hooter and started calling back. they answered with what sounded like the creepiest laugh I've ever heard. I went back inside lol. never heard it before or after
Barred Owls actually do produce a "laughing" sound. It's a territorial call- you probably instigated them to "laugh" by presenting yourself as an "unfamiliar owl". They may have felt threatened by the stranger calling to them, lol.
@@LeBatteur So, that explains my situation. My school has a lot of owls and they probably see me as a threat and produce the really deep laughing sound. They even make a creepy lady sound sometimes.
I had a pair in southern Kansas that loved the tree just feet from my bedroom window. It always started with the nice calm hooting back and forth and then at like 2 or 3 am they would go into a full on horror movie soundtrack. Freaked me out several morning's, I even got so sick of it one night I went out and started throwing sticks at it to now avail as it was in the very top of a 40 foot cottonwood.
you mean that muahaha sound sort of? a friend who has a degree in biology told me that one call would be male and the other was female. I have always noticed they use these sounds in jungle scenes in movies a lot.
Yesss that noise is so spooky! I just there's a family of these owls that live in my neighborhood and make those noises I'm trying to find a sample of it on here.
davidib17 Thanks, David. I was fortunate to find this nesting pair, and watch and photograph the successful hatching of three owlets. I have a few other videos of this family, with a close up one showing a young owl expelling a pellet. Feel free to check them out.Cheers,Justin
Hi Justin, Let us know how to order a print. While I garden I often have the chance to "talk" back & forth with a Barred Owl that lives just outside our meadery bordered by an old growth forest preserve in Chicago. I love this little guy/girl. Hope to take some pics and recordings myself, but in the meantime, I'd love to display your photo in our meadery/winery and encourage others to pay attention and appreciate delightful jewels of nature around us.... even within a city... and become stewards of nature for future generations.
Hi Audrey - Wonderful story :) Feel free to go to my website. Prices for canvas prints are listed under the "About" section. You can also message me directly from that site. Thanks! Cheers,Justin
I live in Western Kentucky and there's a whole bunch of these owls outside of my house at night. I fall asleep by listening to their hoots to each other. It's so relaxing.
this video is incredibly aesthetically pleasing. the lighting, the background, and the gently blowing breeze all compliment each other and make this a very calming scene. even the call of the owl is nice to listen to. the owl itself is also very beautiful, in its own way. maybe i'm just a little too passionate about birds.
this is just so lovely with the peach colored blossoms in the background. Saw an identical owl at our creek today! Tried mimicking the call but she just stared back at me!
Have. one living in the woods nextdoor to my house; occasionally has a friend who comes by to join him. When they get to taking to each other they get reeeaaaly fired up; it's very cool to sit and listen to in the otherwise relatively quiet night.
yes, I hear them very early in the morning when it's still dark out. I'll hear two of them going back and forth. I'm in upstate South Carolina and was wondering the type of owl, this is how I found out.
Awww. That's too cute, Matt. Have you watched this compilation video I put together (which includes that clip and twelve others? th-cam.com/video/frVz4K4QiKM/w-d-xo.html
I live in a log cabin in the woods on the coast of Maine. I have one large pond on my west side and two smaller ones on the east with a swampy spruce forest to my north in which there is a large field. The 80 acres to my north is owned by a land trust. I recently lost my black lab and have nobody to give my tasty leftovers. I have a huge spruce stump just on the edge of the woods and began putting a few scraps on it at the edge of dark because I wanted to encourage the foxes to come at night as I have a terrible mole population under the snow in my yard. The barred owls know the routine and show up just before dark! I only help them during the winter and can now throw a piece of chicken or steak from my porch and the barred owl will grab it within seconds! He is the king of the raptors in my neck of the woods (besides the bald eagles) and have watched (and captured on video) him attacking a red tailed hawk that had just killed a mallard on the ice on my pond. The owl won the showdown. Such a fierce, dynamic and regal bird! Wish I could post the pics! They're quality is worthy of National Geographic...Also, they often cry out w/ a frenetic cackling that rises in amplitude ending with piercing cat-like howl right when they find the food! Wish i was tech savvy and could record and upload that particular call. It's late February now...maybe he's ringing the dinner bell for his mate. I'm glad I don't live in the city...you miss out on so many of the simple pleasure in life!
Awesome story, Chris - and yes, they are amazing birds! I am lucky, as I do live in the city, but have access only a ten minute drive away to a massive greenbelt of land that is home to so many deer, coyote, fox, and owls. This is where I set up my trail cams and do all of my photography, filming and shed hunting. And yes, they will be certainly pairing up now in preparation of nesting!
There's a neighborhood of Barred Owls in the trees right beside my bedroom. They can really raise a ruckus, especially when they hear a pack of coyotes or a siren.
From Washington State... I’ve been hearing this call for the past week, always around midnight, and I couldn’t pinpoint what it was but figured it was some sort of owl. Now I know that we have a female barred owl living in our neighborhood :) absolutely delightful, thank you for the wonderful video.
Glad I could help out :) You could very well have a male barred, as the call is the same. I only know that this was a female, as she had just come off the nest, and males do not sit on the eggs. Either way, great to hear you have one around!
This video is incredible! Can't get over the quality, the sound, how freaking cool this owl looks! And that you spotted it in daylight! I only ever hear mine at night (in Austin, TX). Thank you for sharing!
I just heard this call outside of my window tonight. I thought it was an alien, lol! Thank God for youtube...after a bit of research I came across your lovely video and it cleared everything up for me.
We have several different owls in our area(western Washington-Great Horned, Barn, Screech, Spotted & Barred) but the Barred owls are the by far the most common & vocal around our property. I usually hear the "who cooks for you" calls, but heard a different sound(a single higher call, but similar tone)& this prompted me to look up the sound, which brought me to your video. I've developed quite a deep connection with them over the years & love to sit outside between midnight to 3am & listen/talk to them. They will often converse with you!Sometimes it's a lone owl, at times there a few, but once in awhile, there will be many talking with one another for miles around & this can sometimes result in the more crazy, excited sounds from them, which are kind words of terrifying if you don't know what it is! LOL Anyway, thank you for the lovely video of this lovely bird & I hope you all have/make a wonderful day! 🦉😁
Wonderful words, James, and thanks for sharing. Definitely a favourite bird of mine. The snowy's will be returning in the next month - can't wait! Cheers, Justin
Last night there was one calling another outside my window. The hooting call sounds kind of funny to me, but sometimes they'll let out this screech or wail that'll send chills down your spine.
So happy to find out what I've been hearing in the woods (North of Atlanta, GA) behind our house for a few days. Thank you for the beautiful footage and info.
We have a pair that our house sits in between all night and we hear them talking back-and-forth and it’s so magical and musical. Thank you for posting this so that we could identify what kind of owls we have. We volunteer at a wildlife rescue Locally and we love it so much. Thank you for posting these videos
Just heard 4-5 of these guys calling at each other around 2am the other night. One of them was def a mating call which is weird it being the beginning of Oct In Vermont. One of the best videos of this owl ive ever seen.
This is a great video. Very nice picture. My daughter loves owls and this blew her mind. She's 16 months old and this is the closest thing she gets to TV, but you may have already made her an ornithologist.
Great to hear! They are definitely my favourite. Spotted two barred owls just yesterday while out for a hike. They were a bit camera shy ;) Thanks for watching...
Oh she is beautiful. For a couple of weeks we've been hearing an odd owl call and it doesn't match the tempo of the barred owls I've heard but I think it is one. The one nesting in the woods near my house always sounds six times in a row and we can hear it from anywhere on the fifty-three acres we own, their calls go pretty far. When we first started hearing it we thought it must be near the house but we found nothing.
Of the male and female, the female offers the higher octave in its string of notes, displayed at around 1:30 (male in background) and again around the 2 minute mark. Thanks for sharing.
These sounds are all I hear at night right now, in litchfield county, CT...right up the rd from the marsh. They’re beautiful and if you call to them they’ll call back.
We have a little more than four acres, living here in southern Illinois, and we can hear the same pair of barred owls talking in a certain treeline all year round. It's fun to hear them talking to each other. I've even seen an owl fly over the horse pasture (once so far) at dusk.
I just heard a male (? the voice was lower-pitched than this bird's) barred owl call no more than five minutes ago, just yards from my home! We also have a pair of great horned owls who call to each other frequently! Generally, the two species call from opposite directions...
As a little kid (before ten years old), an old outdoorsman taught it to me as “I cook for me, who cooks for you?” Just a slight variation on some of the other comments here. Thanks for the post!
Heard a strange noise in the woods behind my house and thought it could be an owl. I found this video and this is the exact sound! I’m in South Carolina.
The call of this owl woke me during the night of Sept 20th, 2020 in L'Ange-Gardien east, Quebec. Never heard one before. Was really special. Had to look it up. The call is so typical and easy to identify. Wish I could have seen him or her.
I was woken up to this call outside my window! Living in Seattle I don't often many hear (some!) owls - so it was an extremely fun surprise being so close to an urban area. But we have a wooded creek near us. Thank you for denoting what kind of call this was - other videos hadn't so I greatly appreciate the specificity.
I was just hanging out in my back yard around 30 miles north of NYC and suddenly, I saw a large Owl land on a branch close by. I stared at it for 30 seconds, in awe at it's bright white face and deeply dark eyes. It eventually caught a gaze of me as I tried to move closer, and as our eyes caught, it felt as if our mind's were in a deep subconscious conversation, but in order to extend the moment, I consciously stopped moving, and we stayed like this, eyes locked, for a few more seconds.
Yes, those eyes and the turning of the head are a site to be seen close up and in-person. It's been 15 years and I will never forget it - most impressive.
Spotted one of these in Southern Ontario yesterday :) it was beautiful I couldn’t take my eyes off of it. Think it was a female as it was fairly large. This video quality is amazing though!!
Thanks for posting. I have been listening to this right next to my house in Michigan, with another answering from across the street. I wondered what they were... now I know. Exciting to think they may have little ones soon 💕
We heard this camping and thought it was a human making that noise but when it was too consistent we realized it must be an owl of some kind. Cool and eerie at the same time!
I am SOOO appreciative of this video!! THANK YOU for this!! For explaining exactly what I was wondering about these MAJESTIC creatures. Owls are amazing & this video is pure greatness for me so thank you. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Wonderful to hear, William, and glad you enjoyed it. Definitely was a fun experience. Here's a compilation video I put together, showcasing my best barred owl interactions. Hope you like it: th-cam.com/video/frVz4K4QiKM/w-d-xo.html Cheers, Justin
There’s about 15-20 of them in my backyard. I play this sometimes and watch as four to five of them land on the same branch right above me. Beautiful animals.
Thanks for watching! If you enjoyed this clip, be sure to check out my barred owl compilation video here: th-cam.com/video/frVz4K4QiKM/w-d-xo.html

Thanks so much for the link!
Your videos are so amazingly clear! Wow! Love them. Thanks for sharing! 🙌🏽
"Two mice for me, one mouse for yoooou."
XD I read that out loud I loved it that much.
That's how I was taught to identify them when I was a kid. Truly terrifying.
I'd never heard that one before... and I've gotten into many arguments with barred owls over the years.
To mate it would be “one mouse for me two mice for you”
They will hunt in pairs sometimes.
This is exactly what I'm hearing at night out my bedroom window! Such beautiful creatures!
Same
I love how the owl keep's her head steady as she sways with the branch.
all birds do that! it has to do with them not being able to move their eyes very much/at all! search Hypnotizing a Chicken i can't explain how it works in words but the video gives a pretty good example
I like how their belly feathers fluff out when they do the call , so cute!!
Cute for sure! Thanks for watching :)

It really is beautiful. The colors, framing and angle make it look like a living painting.

dragongirl1501 Thank you for the kind comment - greatly appreciated :)
This was gorgeous, it's not just you!
+dragongirl1501 Yes! Very beautiful and serene...(is it wrong that I could watch it all day?)
Barn owls
Barred Owls.
The Way its head stays centered is mesmerizing
There is an owl near my house that makes this EXACT sounds ALL THE TIME! It's a little spooky lol but so interesting to finally know what that is 💕💕
Glad to hear you got to the bottom of the mystery. Thanks for watching :)
Same here I always thought it was some kind of bird in distress or has its eyes on food 😂😂
Female Owl: "where are you..and who cooks for you?"
Male Owl: (eating...probably by himself).
these little guys are so adorable
They are pretty big, as owls go. I guess little in comparison to us, though. Cheers!
I have Barred Owls near my home, they will often reply if you call out to them.
I just heard this noise outside my window about 20 minutes ago. Had to look it up. Beautiful animal, beautiful sounds.
this is just so lovely with the peach colored blossoms in the background. Saw an identical owl at our creek today! Tried mimicking the call but she just stared back at me!
1:33 You can hear the other calling back in the distance.
Have. one living in the woods nextdoor to my house; occasionally has a friend who comes by to join him. When they get to taking to each other they get reeeaaaly fired up; it's very cool to sit and listen to in the otherwise relatively quiet night.
The wind blows the branch but it's head stays perfectly still.
They certainly are incredible birds! Thanks for watching...
I heard two of these in the distance when I left the house for work. It was a really neat experience, and much louder than the video.
yes, I hear them very early in the morning when it's still dark out. I'll hear two of them going back and forth. I'm in upstate South Carolina and was wondering the type of owl, this is how I found out.
Frontal Lobotomy me too im in clemson and have big birds all over the place. Seen a peregrine falcon today.
Use the volume knob to make the video louder! 😂🍆😂🍆😂
The owl is a majestic bird
My toddler requests this video daily. Amazing footage!

I have one that comes to hunt in my back yard. Such a noble looking bird!
God she's beautiful! !!
Praise the lord for these beautiful birds!
Sorry, she’s taken
I’m pretty sure it’s a male as usually they make the mating calls.
@@babyyodaiscute5585 She's not making a mating call, she's "calling to her mate." Read the description.
@@Dennis-nc3vw oh wow. Sorry. Thank you for letting me know,
A+ footage!
Really nice that you were able to get some first class audio of the calls, too.
Appreciate the kind words! Thanks for watching...
Just heard 4-5 of these guys calling at each other around 2am the other night. One of them was def a mating call which is weird it being the beginning of Oct In Vermont. One of the best videos of this owl ive ever seen.
What a beauty! Great footage of her!
Many thanks, Rebecca - glad you enjoyed it!
Wow she really puts her whole body into the call amazing capture, Justin! 🦉😃👍
She sure does! Glad you enjoyed the footage, Patrick - cheers!
This is a great video. Very nice picture. My daughter loves owls and this blew her mind. She's 16 months old and this is the closest thing she gets to TV, but you may have already made her an ornithologist.
I'm beginning to fall in love with owls..they're becoming my favorite bird 🥰
Great to hear! They are definitely my favourite. Spotted two barred owls just yesterday while out for a hike. They were a bit camera shy ;)
Thanks for watching...

We have one of these in our back yard and she's laying eggs inside a hollow tree! She is calling out to find a mate. But I don't hear any :(
These sounds are all I hear at night right now, in litchfield county, CT...right up the rd from the marsh. They’re beautiful and if you call to them they’ll call back.
Lucky you! Hope you get a chance to spot them. Thanks for watching :)
We have a little more than four acres, living here in southern Illinois, and we can hear the same pair of barred owls talking in a certain treeline all year round. It's fun to hear them talking to each other. I've even seen an owl fly over the horse pasture (once so far) at dusk.
Great stuff! Sounds like a little slice of paradise you have to yourself 😊
The coolest animal on the planet. I wish I could turn my head like that haha
Would be a cool super power to have, haha! Thanks for watching, David...
And then there's the Northern Spotted Owl, whose call sounds like "Who......cooks for......you?" with those inexplicable pauses!
We don't have the spotted owl here...thanks for the intel :)
Beautiful birds
this is what i hear outside my window at night all the time for like 30 minutes at a time except not as pleasant
I just heard a male (? the voice was lower-pitched than this bird's) barred owl call no more than five minutes ago, just yards from my home! We also have a pair of great horned owls who call to each other frequently! Generally, the two species call from opposite directions...

Love hearing owl calls. Sometimes I can hear them in the wooded brush behind my property. I just sit and listen. Amazing!
They truly do have an amazing call! Thanks for watching :)
If you haven't had the privilege of being awakened by this magnificent creature while camping, you are missing out.
Most definitely :)
Thanks for watching.
I have one in my woods and this is the BEST vocalization I've found ! Thankyou
Great to hear, Diana - nice that you enjoyed the video :)
Have one,sometimes 2 in my yard almost every night! 💖
Awesome stuff! Thanks for watching!
I love Owls, and the video was beautifully done. The audio was fantastic.
I'm hearing this outside now....so cool!!
Thanks for helping me confirm what I was hearing
Great stuff! Glad I could help!
Heard a strange noise in the woods behind my house and thought it could be an owl. I found this video and this is the exact sound! I’m in South Carolina.
Great stuff, Ariel - glad to hear I helped out. Happy owling!
I sit on my porch every night to listen to this sound. I love it!
Awesome! Thanks for sharing, Gena - and watching :)
Just came from a video on the Loon calling at night. Majestic. This is also a great video thank you.
Glad to hear you enjoyed it. I have a few loon videos on my channel, with piggy backing newborns that you might enjoy :)
Ive been using this video to call in a few owls. They are all staring at me and its amazing
Cool stuff! Glad I could help out 😎
Beautiful footage!
Backdrop amazing!

Great stuff, Rachel - and only about an hour away from me. Keep your eyes peeled - hopefully you spot one one day soon. Thanks for watching :)
One of these guys woke me up at 5 in the morning... along with like 5 other birds being loud
Hoot happens 😉
What a beautiful animal and a fantastic video!
Cheers, Becca - glad you enjoyed the footage :)
so i’m not hearing some creepy monster in the woods at 2am? nice😀
Haha! You're safe ;)

They are often found close to swamps or running water, so sounds like you have a great little spot outside your window.
Thanks for watching!
I love owls their one of my favorite animals right next to foxes especially the barred owl

Wonderful, David. Yes, these owls have a way of reaching deep into our souls. Thanks for sharing :)
Yes, those eyes and the turning of the head are a site to be seen close up and in-person. It's been 15 years and I will never forget it - most impressive.
Spotted one of these in Southern Ontario yesterday :) it was beautiful I couldn’t take my eyes off of it. Think it was a female as it was fairly large. This video quality is amazing though!!
Just saw 2 of them around 2pm today in CT. Honored
I'm playing this in the back yard as i type , there's an owl answering this .
😎👍
Awesome to hear, Will! Cool stuff.
Cheers,
Justin
idk why but its so cute and funny
Thanks for posting. I have been listening to this right next to my house in Michigan, with another answering from across the street. I wondered what they were... now I know. Exciting to think they may have little ones soon 💕
Many times while camping, these birds have sung me to sleep.
Beautiful their call reminds me of the call of a loon.
They are really the most gorgeous birds. Thank you for sharing.
My favourite owl hands down. Thanks for watching :)
We heard this camping and thought it was a human making that noise but when it was too consistent we realized it must be an owl of some kind. Cool and eerie at the same time!
Great stuff! Glad you were able to figure the sound out. Yes, there call is definitely interesting!
Awesome video! Love this owl. Such a unique vocal.
Cheers, Bill - glad you enjoyed the footage and calls...

Lucky you, Matt! Both wonderful calls to experience first hand. Thanks for sharing...

There’s about 15-20 of them in my backyard. I play this sometimes and watch as four to five of them land on the same branch right above me. Beautiful animals.
