At around 4:15 AM PST, there was off-camera hooting - some very emphatic four-syllable hoots (Hoo Hoo HOO Hoo--is that Iris?) alternating with the hoot Rusty has made previously (Hoo hoohoohoohoo HOOOO Hooo), then going to just Rusty after about 4 minutes.<br />Much fainter hoots were heard around 4:23-4:30 - sounded like Rusty, followed by sounds of wings rustling and talons scratching; flying owl visible at far right of frame (flying laps?). Rusty was back in nest sometime before 4:40; with Iris flying back and forth for a while (so much for owl flight being silent...). Neither one of them seems to be saying much from then on...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9725321.post-4692374213859960962010-12-17T07:35:14.427-06:002010-12-17T07:35:14.427-06:00Thanks for posting about the hooting!

His posture was interesting--head lowered, ear tufts raised, throat puffed out. Sounded like it was in response to someone hooting off-camera (not sure who that other owl was). He kept this up for about 2-3 minutes, then went back to just sitting and occasionally looking around (like he's doing now).<br /><br />Quite a character, that Rusty....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9725321.post-38234378634644174632010-12-15T08:14:40.805-06:002010-12-15T08:14:40.805-06:00AWESOME OBSERVATION!!!

First you hear Alice hoot in the house, then Iris does a few emphatic hoots and staccato hoots, then Rusty starts up hooting...although it's a bit distorted since he's so close to the mike.

Rusty (I *think* it was Rusty--white bib) was in the nest and repeating the same call from around 3:55 AM PST to a little after 4:00 AM (kind of a "hoo hoohoohoohoohoo Hoooo hooo"). Also, at around 4:56, there was some very emphatic sounding whistling (pretty sure it was from this cam and not the other owl cams I was watching at the time).<br /><br />Hope this is useful, or at least not annoying...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9725321.post-17188540356172915212010-12-14T15:26:28.853-06:002010-12-14T15:26:28.853-06:00Good question, Nina.
