Barred Owls Belt Their Classic Calls On Cam

Listen the the female Barred Owl call to her mate from the nest box.

The Barred Owls are having a hoot on the Wild Birds Unlimited Barred Owl Cam this season! We’ve already witnessed raucous prey deliveries to the nest box and the female belting out the owls’ characteristic calls of ‘Who cooks for you?’ when checking in with her mate. Be sure to listen closely while you watch the cam to catch their conversations throughout the breeding season!

The Barred Owl’s distinctive call is often heard echoing through forests wherever they are found across the U.S. and Canada. It’s easy to imitate, so why not try your hand at mimicking their call during your next walk in the woods?
