OB,

Sitting by the firepit tonight and our local owl had been very vocal. Along with Mr. Owl tonight there was another sound, like a squawking noise. I took a video to record the sounds in the last direction they came from. I can only assume this was a kill since they started 90 degrees right of where I took the vid. Any ideas what was making the squawking sound?

Great Horned Owl according to the Merlin app. Zero idea if that app is accurate.

Sorry I meant that's the only bird it identified.

The Merlin app is pretty solid. I do census counts using it for my wildlife ag valuation

That is also an owl sound. They do more than hoot. The 3rd part of this video "Call" has your sound in it.

Whoa thanks! I had no idea they made that sound. I hear it hooting out here every night. First time I have heard thank squak sound though. The thing that made me think it was prey was how it started strongly but eventually petered out to barely audible. The hooting continued though.
