Observation details

called in response to my vocalizations; I actually thought I was recording an Elf Owl but the bird promptly shifted to typical double trills after I stopped recording [as I recall, I went through this same identification struggle with the last screech-owl I heard in SE Baja California, 8 October 2005] https://www.aba.org/baja-california-peninsula-year-2020/
