Very cool Darwin. My owl story isn't quite as neat as that. Anyway. I fancy myself as a bit of an impressionist (voices, not paintings). When I was about 8, I went on a night hike with the county naturalist and we heard some Barred owls. I quickly learned the call. It's sounds like your saying "Who cooks for you, who cooks for y'all." At least I think that's what he said. It was nearly 20 years ago. Anywho, I made a point to drag my dad out to the woods fairly regularly after that. Every time I would make the call, and every time I would get replies. I still do this every once in a while. My wife thinks I'm nuts, but likes when the birds call back.
