Observation details
Very unusual GHOW calls, presume juvenile, hooting very low/quiet and erratically and occasionally making an almost human sounding exclamation. Appeared bird does not have its song delivery down. It was the exclamations that caught my attention downstairs while watching TV. I thought someone out back might be shouting so went to investigate. (I saw my cat was frightened.) The bird was standing on the rain gutter above an open window upstairs and the sound echoed through the house. I grabbed my mic and caught a few seconds, posted here. When I stepped out back to get closer I flushed it from the rain gutter above my bedroom window. Large brown owl visible against the night sky, lit slightly from below by the glow from my den windows cast onto the back porch.
