North American Bird Calls

The Barred Owl is one of the larger owls seen in North America. It has a very recognizable call that might be heard at night from across a lake. It might be situated in a forest or sitting out at night close to a wooded area. The call sounds like "Who, who cooks for you?" and is repeated over and over. It is seen from Nova Scotia, through Quebec and Ontario, around the Great Lakes, streaming across the prairie provinces, all of British Columbia and the northwest corner states. It covers the eastern half of the US states to the tip of Florida, westward into the eastern half of Texas.

Reference to Other Bird Site:

ABA - American Birding Association This site represents an organization that maintains official records of all birds species that have been proven to have been seen inside the perimeters of the North American Continent and the surrounding bodies of water. Regular revised versions are posted to keep the bird list current at all times. This is the list used by all serious birders over their lifetime. You may be aware of the movie called the "Big Year". It was with this list that all the competing birders used in an attempt to set a new record as to how many bird species that could be seen by an individual birder in one calendar year.
