[Birdtalk] Re: [Birdnet] Northern Hawk Owl

Cabin in the mountains of Rich County? Spring? I agree with Tim that the 
Northern Saw-whet is the most likely candidate, but just to let your 
imaginations run wild, I think the Boreal Owl's call is more similar to the 
Northern Hawk-owl's.

  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???
