Last night, at 7 PM we heard a Long-eared Owl from our yard, which is located just to the east of the Geirin Creek woodlands that runs across Port Williams and Holland Roads. The calls consisted of single, low "whoo"s repeated a few seconds apart. The calls continued for about 5 minutes as the owl worked through the woods towards the north. This is only the second time I have heard this species in 6 years in this area, which is particularly good for owls, including Barred, Great-horned, Northern Saw-whet, Barn, Western Screech, and rarely Northern Pygmys.

If I hear this individual again, I'll repost here in case others wish to listen for it.
