You can listen to owl sounds here-

A couple of times I woke during the night when all else was quiet, except an occasional train passing through town, and I heard a low hoo-hoo-hoo...hooooo, and a more distant response. It sounded just like the Great Horned Owl pair calling.

(776 posts)If you have ever had a Great Horned whoooing outside your window you would say that bird needs a volume knob.

We have scrub jays yakking at each other early in the morning outside the window at the head of our bed. They have babies each year, and recently I laughed when I saw a 'preteen' jay squeakily pleading for a snack and twice the parent bird stuffed a morsel into its beak, then nudged the kid off the branch. It seemed to say, "Okay here's a snack! Now, don't just sit there, get some exercise!"
In the spring we had a Mockingbird that never slept. He sang at all hours, from various trees in our yard or those around us. I love hearing them, but it can be hard to fall asleep again with a bird calling nearby!
