This is probably the best library out there for Barred Owl calls, though by
no means complete.

Barred Owls at this time of year are more likely to call than two months
ago. I think it has to do with re-establishing territory after the nesting
season, and as a warning to the juveniles that are now dispersed and looking
for territory. Lately I have heard caterwauling between a pair that helps
to maintain a pair bond, as well as a "whoo-ah" call that I believe is a
territorial call. From my experience, it is the adults that are calling
now; the juvies seem to keep a low profile.

Subject: [Tweeters] Barred Owl Calls



On the last 2 nights we have heard what we think are calls from a pair of
Barred Owls in the Green Cove Basin on Cooper Point just north of Olympia.
The calls are somewhat like barks and seem to be coordinated between the
pair. We've done some reading and on-line searching but haven't found a
clear explanation for this type of call at this time of year. Any Barred Owl
specialists out there who can interpret this behavior?



Thanks,
