Hearing Owls Lately

Ever since I have returned from Italy, I have woken up to the sounds of barred owls calling almost every night. Two of them call back and forth. They sound like they're down by the Rum River and possibly as far away as the Boy Scout camp.  Sometimes I hear their typical "Who cooks for you?" call. Twice I've heard their "Hoo Yah!" calls.  One night I heard their strange monkey calls.  I think it is such a delight to sleep with my bedroom window open so I can appreciate these awesome raptors communicating.
