Who cooks for you? Who cooks for you???

Owls calling to each other in the woods of Woodland Shores is one of my most loved sounds. And the Barred Owl is my most favorite of all. No maatter what I’m doing, inside the house or out in the yard, when I hear owls start to call to each other I stop and look and listen in reverence. It’s an awesome sound. Sometimes I think they sound like lost monkeys. Ornithologists think they can hear them speak. “Who cooks for you? Who cooks for you??” I admit that I don’t hear that. To me, it’s monkeys. But ornithologists insist and who am I to argue?

This page from allaboutbirds.org has several examples of the song of the Barred Owl. Have a listen and tell me whether you hear monkeys, or something about who cooks for you.
