I have been hearing some mystery hoots from the woods of Six-mile Creek off of Commonland. Can anyone identify the source? Dare I wonder if it might be a Long-eared Owl?
https://youtu.be/0byLaJ5eks0 These occurred as single hoots, with gaps of 12-20 seconds between them. The recordings were made around 4am with my iPhone, and amplified slightly with Audacity. I can supply the original WAVs if anyone wants them. Suan -- (copy & paste any URL below, then modify any text "_DOT_" to a period ".")
