Okay so I’m pretty sure this is a barred owl but there were 3 of them in the woods behind the house tonight. They were not very big but they were making a screeching sound. They don’t look like screech owls but I have never heard them make this sound. I have it on recording if I can figure out how to upload it. I wonder if they are young owls. I hooted at them and they did not like it. I’ve heard the sound a bunch over the years but never thought it was a barred owl.

You’re on the right track and I know the exact sound that you’re talking about. Best I can tell, yes, it’s a young own making that noise.

The young ones around my house make a long kind of shrieking sound. I assumed it was so the momma can keep up with them after they start flying around a bit. They have been nesting in my back yard for years now.

It is a white oak. I was watching wondering that lectrode. I thought it was odd that they let me get that close. It made me think they were young.

I was standing behind my truck one night about dark and I heard it before I saw I coming. That owl came over my head about 5 feet just gliding. I bet it had a 3 foot wing span. Startled me but was cool at the same time.

When I was about 12 I was cleaning out shooting houses as my job on workdays. These shooting house were 16-20 feet off the ground. When I opened the door to the house an owl came flying straight at me. Couldn’t have missed my head by more than an inch. I think I hit 1 rung on the ladder on the way down. By the way that was the nastiest shooting house ever

That’s not it canvasback. It’s a mix between a whistle and a screech. I found it on YouTube it’s a juvenile call. Evidently they do it to communicate with their mom as they’re learning how to fly. These 3 wouldn’t fly they’d kind jump from limb to limb. Pretty cool.
