The first time I heard Barred Owl duetting was on a float trip on the Eleven Point River in the Missouri Ozarks. We were camped in the woods along the river, sitting around a campfire when the "hootenanny" started up. Really a memorable experience!

I would like to say that I think that it is so fascinating that there are so many sounds out there at night that we need to hear and pay close attention to at night.  The owl calls are literally fascinating especially the recording of the duet

The grey fox sounded like a screaming woman. We have barred owls and great horned owls.

I have been around white-tailed deer my entire life. I had no idea they made vocalizations like those presented here! Wow. Same with raccoons...I have never had the pleasure of hearing them call. I have heard owls at night. I just returned from Shenandoah National Park and heard owls at night. But have no idea which of the many species located in the park were doing the calling.

I was most surprised by the deer! I know fawns bleat and the adults will huff when threatened. But, I'd never heard something like that before.

The sound that surprised me the most was the Bush baby. It definitely sounds like an owl. Where I live, the sounds I hear from an actual owl at night is the barred owl. I was outsidedoing this course and heard it. There is one for sure pretty close to my apartment. The other sounds I hear are bats, frogs, and a group of coyotes. They were really close and loud last night.

Me sorprendió más el canto a dúo de Atrix varia, no sabía que en los strigiformes podría encontrar algo así al igual que algunos paseriformes de mi país como el Furnarius rufus.

the fox!

First, I really enjoyed this particular lesson! We live in a magnificent world of nature; so sad how we are rapidly destroying the habitat that supports all of these beautiful creatures. My biggest surprise was the White-tailed Deer! Douglas (Laureles, Medellín, Colombia)

Yikes, that bobcat sound would freak me out if I heard it. Speaking of being freaked out, I was camping a few months back and heard some shriek at night - now I know it was most likely a Barn Owl.

The first time I heard barred owls caterwauling I thought they sounded like monkeys,not likely in Canada😁.   We have Saw whet owls calling in the spring and Great greys here every other winter.     I have never heard a sound like that that come from a deer, so that one surprised me.

I didn't know that white tailed deer make that kind of sound. We have living in our bush two or three kinds of owls that I've heard on the recordings and also heard them live in the bush - barred owl (both single and duet) and Eastern screech owl.

OH MY GOSH!! I could guess the sounds that were probably owls and most of the animals but the bobcat freaked me out a bit and impressed me. I didn't know they could sound so scary. The Short Eared Owl threw me off as it sounds so much like a cat like animal and the Spotted Owl I mistook for a dog. I have never heard a bush baby in my life so I thought it was a crow. What a fascinating sound for a primate!! As for the gray fox I have heard a red fox before so I know they sound eerie and tend to scream. A red fox screamed for days at 6 in the morning around my neighborhood, likely a vixen in heat. But like I said before I have seen but never heard a gray fox before so hearing it gave me the chills. It was like a siren mixed with an echoing scream!! I didn't know such a sound could come out of an animal however I should know better after already hearing so many strange sounds in the animal kingdom haha!

The gray fox sounds like an ambulance being tortured. I've seen them, but never heard anything like that!

I was most surprised by the sound of the white tailed deer and the raccoon. The shrill sound of the Sooty Owl was also a surprise  with its high pitched shrill. I was able to identify the Saw Whet, the Barn Owl, the Barred Owl, thanks to previous sound recordings and the Mourning Dove, which I have heard many times at my feeder station. I was able to recognize that some sounds were not owls, like the bobcat and the whipporwill. I have never heard an owl at night. I spotted a Great Horned Owl on a dead tree on a rare snowy night in Sugar Land TX and the sound of a prey animal avoiding capture with leaves rustling and escape of the almost prey animal into  my flower bed.  I saw the Great Horned Owl in pursuit that night only because of the rustling leaves and the light from a flood light from my neighbors front yard. The almost prey animal was a neighborhood cat.

I have heard a Great Horned owl when I got up one night it sounded like a duetting pair .

All the sounds were amazing. I really liked the vocalization of Northern Saw-whet Owl, Spotted Owl, Southern Boobook and Eastern Screech-Owl I have also had the opportunity to listen to other owls like Band-bellied Owl https://www.xeno-canto.org/391918

I've only heard two owls: the Great Horned Owl (a couple of times, I could even see his silhouette in the top of a pine tree in Georgia!) and the Barred Owl. The first time I heard a Barred Owl, I had NO IDEA what it was--it's such an unusual sound! It took me a while to track down the type of owl--but once you hear it, you never forget it. Sometimes, when they are further away and it's more muffled, it sounds sort of like a dog barking in the distance. I was most surprised by the grey fox and deer sounds--never really knew they made any sounds, the fox was definitely a surprise--so eerie! I still can't believe how much the Northern Saw-whet owl sounds like a truck backing up! :D I also like "horse whinnying" sound the Eastern Screech-Owl makes.

The white-tailed deer was the biggest surprise for me.  The bobcat I recognized probably because I heard one when I was in high school.  We lived on the edge of a small town in a wooded area.  It was at night; my cousin and I stayed up late talking in our backyard.  We heard the scream, realized what it was and went in the house.

Each sound is remarkable in its own way. The most surprising for me were the bobcat and fox. And the barred owl really puts a smile on my face!

The Bushbaby, White-Tailed Deer, and Sooty owl suprised me! Both the Bushbaby and White-Tailed Deer sounded more like birds than anything. And with the Sooty owl's call, I thought it might've been an insect!

The white tailed deer surprised me! The fox sound for me sounded like an ambulance. I did not even knew what was a bushbaby! I have heard an owl sound before at about 3:00 p.m. apart fro  that no other sound.

The bobcat sound was spooky .  I haven’t heard any other owls yet.

Sooty owl sure surprised me! When I heard it I said, "There's no way that's an owl". Then, lo and behold, it turned out to be the sooty owl! Owls can make sounds than I ever expected.

The bobcat and the fox sounds were surprising and eerie!
