Here's a couple of them talking to each other and some people get them to talk back to them, too:

Eat all those little micies and ratties you can find. Who WHO who whoooooooooooooooooooo

They are so quiet that if you don't see them, you don't see them.

it would be surreal. You are so lucky.

Description says it was 103 that day and it sounded like heat lightning and maybe that kind of rain that breaks with a lot of wind in hot climates like that. I thought it was an extraordinary video and I wish I had a place like that. Kind of sounded like there was some water nearby, but not certain.

I'm not sure how the light value was on the playback for you, but I had to download it to see the brush in the background. It's moving a lot that accounts for the wind chimes and the water like noise. When I used to live out in a very rural and arid region, the brush and or the grass would blow in the wind and sound like the ocean. I've never seen that many owls together.

Now all I hear are seagulls, crows and the occasional flocks of pigeons. The peregrines eat the songbirds up here so it's a bit different than Steve's locale. The other video I posted on this thread is from FL and sounds much like the way what the forests in TX do. They sound like the ocean when the wind blows in the piney woods.

I wish that was my yard!

and I mainly see doves, grackles, and an occasional bluejay or cardinal. Love that yard in the video, too.

They nest all over the place here.
