[Birdnet] Northern Hawk Owl

[Connie McManus]

I went to Cornell's All about Birds page and looked up this bird. As I
listened to the recording of the sound this owl makes, it brought back
memories of when I lived in Garden City (RIch County).  I owned a cabin in
the mountains overlooking Bear Lake and would sit out on the deck spring
evenings and hear this same or similar call.  I could have listened to it
all night long and have always wondered what made it.  Judging from the fact
that utahbirds.org doesn't even have Northern Hawk Owl in the bird guide, I
have to assume this bird is very rarely seen this far south.  But, every
spring that same call would sound through the forrest, always at night.  I'm
still curious to know what kind of night bird makes a sound similar to the
Norther Hawk Owl.  Anyone know?  I can't believe that every spring I was
hearing a Northern Hawk Owl in Garden City, Utah. If so, maybe next spring
someone should spend some time checking it out???
