Juvenile begging calls.
Observation details
I heard the scratchy calls of a juvenile GHO. I located one adult and one juvenile in a densely leafy tree. There might have been more than two hiding in that tree, but I only saw two. I made two recordings of the juvenile GHO calls. Merlin suggested that a Barn Owl was also present. I have seen Barn Owls many times at Lk_Yos, but I have yet to hear one make any sound. I didn’t hear anything on my recordings that persuaded me that Barn Owl was real. When I uploaded my two recordings to BirdNET, the program assigned the maximum score of 1.00 to GHO and scores of 0.22 and 0.06 to Barn Owl. I cannot rule out Barn Owl, but I think it's more likely that Merlin and BirdNET confused the GHO begging call for the similar-sounding Barn Owl call.
