My daughter Allison who lives just up the street from me in Aurora, Ontario, north of Toronto. has been walking on a nearby woodland trail and has heard a pair of Great Horned Owls communicating with each other in the treetops. The Great Horned Owl is a big bird (22"/56 cm.) Its ear tufts distinguish it from other large species. Its call is a series of three to eight loud, deep hoots, with the second and third often being short and rapid. The usual pattern, according to ornithologist Kenn Kaufman, is "hoo, hoo-hoo...hoooh". Seemingly, there are also other hoots and shrieks.
