Mainly just curious to see how many non-US people we have. I know some languages have more than one word for owl.

Where are you from, and how do you say owl where you are from, and what sound do they make?

        Generally that’s a pneumonic for remembering the Barred Owl call, not the Barn Owl. Barn Owls actually have a call that’s more of a raspy screech.

        But I’d say the majority of Americans wouldn’t know one owl call from another, haha. I’m into the outdoors so know a handful, but am far from an expert.

          Shoot, you are right. My brain always tries to switch those 2 on me. Too much barred barn barararar… 🤯

          I only hear the Great Horned Owls where I’m at. He’s a pretty easy one to pick out too. Hoo HOOoo hooo hooo hooo!
