It's wonderful to read, and learn from everyone's input to this owl...my only response would be;  What A Hoot! Good luck.

  Subject: [Birdnet] Northern Hawk Owl


  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<http://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???
