At 10:35 pm on Sept. 21 at Kawartha Hideway on the north shore of Buckhorn Lake,  I was out with the dogs and heard a bird which I figured was an owl. Checked my Peterson’s field guide… a Barred Owl. Hoohoo-hoohoo-hoohoo-hoohoo.. 8 accented notes in 2 groups of 4. Never heard one before… pretty neat.
