Eastern Screech Owl - Sound, Call, Sound, Voice, Hooting, And Other Noises Made by the Bird

Описание: Sounds of the Eastern Screech Owl. Screeching, hooting, sound, call.

SONGS

Both males and females sing. Their most common sounds are an even-pitched trill, often called a “bounce song” or tremolo; and a shrill, descending whinny. The tremolo is used by pairs or families to keep in touch and is 3–6 seconds long. The whinny is 0.5–2 seconds long and is used to defend territories. These two songs may be given one after the other. Mated pairs may sing to each other antiphonally, both day and night.

CALLS

Among the Eastern Screech-Owl’s many calls are soft, low hoots; loud, sharp barking calls that indicate alarm or agitation; and, true to their name, screeches—typically given by adults defending nests or fledglings. A three- or four-note chuckle or rattle denotes annoyance, as when a bird is being mobbed.

OTHER SOUNDS

Annoyed screech-owls make a clacking sound by snapping their bill mandibles together. Captured birds may hiss as part of a threat display



Songs Versus Calls



Most birds have a wide repertoire of songs and calls, but there’s an important distinction to be made between the two. Among the songbirds and various other groups of birds (such as cuckoos, owls, and nightjars), songs are used to defend territory and attract mates. Therefore, it’s the males that sing the most—usually during breeding season.



So how can you tell a song from a call? The difference isn’t always obvious, but songs are usually more complex and carry a clear pattern.



Calls, on the other hand, tend to be shorter and simpler—often just one syllable and can be heard at all times of the year
