The hoot is a very recognizable owl call. Great horned owls are especially known for their hooting sound, which involves two short, deep âhooâ sounds followed by a long âhooooooo.â This sound is usually territorial and can be heard for several miles. Both male and female owls hoot, but male hoots are usually deeper than females.
Barred Owls have a distinctive hooting call of 8â9 notes, described as âWho cooks for you? Who cooks for you-all?â This call carries well through the woods and is fairly easy to imitate. During courtship, mated pairs perform a riotous duet of cackles, hoots, caws and gurgles.
