Territorial hoot and staccato hoot.
Podrobnosti k pozorování
Two GHOs began hooting after the sun went down. One owl flew into the cellphone tree, then back to the eucalyptus grove. I traced the calls to a tree close to the lake, halfway between the boat docks and the Boardwalk. It sounded as if both owls were in the same tree. Instead of a simple duet between male and female, I heard two different calls, sometimes overlapping. Owl #1 made the classic territorial hoot. Owl #2 made what sounded like the staccato hoot. The following description of the staccato hoot is from a research article that I found on the International Owl Center website: “Staccato Hoot. This hoot is given when excited, usually when birds of a mated pair are together, and may often precede copulation. It is a rapid series of brief and evenly spaced individual notes that often leads into a Territorial Hoot. It may consist of as few as three notes up to 15 or more notes. This vocalization is given by adults of both sexes, and is delivered in a forward leaning posture. As with Territorial Hoots, it is most often given in fall and winter.” [Karla A.
