Looks like an incredibly loud owl has moved into the neighborhood
Sounds sort of like this but MUCH MUCH louder and much smoother. This must be a gigantic owl.
All i hear is
gloooop..ga-gloooop..ga-glooooop.....GA-GLOOP!!!
Bouncing off everything...kind of creepy.
All I can think of is those cartoons where people throw a shoe out the window at some screeching alley cat on a fence.
LOL I can't believe I missed that!? That's a barred owl. One of the much more common owl species in our area here in MA and in the NorthEast and Canada and even western US. I remember having to pull one out of a chimney half charred and covered in soot somewhere in the Back Bay as they move in towards the city during the winter months for a couple of reasons: 1) The abundance of rodents and 2) the abundance of chimneys letting out warm air. The ones that have loose caps are the ones that have owls end up at the bottom of the chimney!
But very common right up there with the great horned and barn etc. About the size of red tailed hawk but with a lot more downy feathers making them much fluffier.
