Media notes
These calls were recorded after the 10-minute mark at the stop. After the yelp recorded in the first cut on this checklist, I heard nothing else during the remainder of the main 10-minute survey period. I then gave a couple bouts of tooting in the 10th and 11th minutes. Shortly after the second bout , I heard a series of clicks and chittering, and the 4 soft yelps, after which the other sounds ceased. The yelp seemed slightly farther and at a slightly different vector from me than the preceding calls. Although they may have been NSWO calls (juvenile?), I had never heard such calls before. They also did not sound like the other insect and rodent calls (including southern flying squirrel) I'm familiar with in these woods. I've included them in case someone with more extensive experience can identify them. Given that the owl(s) apparently responded to my tooting, I've logged them as "Playback used."
Observation details
At the seventh stop (2.4), after I had given my three bouts of NSWO song, a saw-whet gave a single yelp close by just SE of me in the 8th minute. I stayed an extra 5 minutes at the stop, and did a bit of tooting after the 10-minute mark. I heard four soft yelps to the NE of me (i.e., opposite side of the road as the first call). These yelps were preceded by a bout of clicks and chittering which may have also been NSWO (juvenile calls?), but I had never heard such calls before. They also didn't sound like any insects or rodent sounds I've heard previously in these woods.
