Owls and other wildlife

I know some readers have little context when I share my little house on the prairie experiences. So I am going to try and give you some sound clips.

So first things first, the fox from the other night sounded like this.

When we lived in Union Springs we were always hearing coyotes. I suggest listening to howl 7, howl 10 and any of the howls in the 50's to get a good idea of what we'd hear. Although nothing is as creepy as hearing it live and just acrossed the hedgerow or street.

One winter night Andrew and I actually went hiking after a couple of Great Horned Owls to see if we could get a glimpse of them, they were pretty elusive but we did see them in the woods. That night it was pretty cool cause they were doing their calls back and forth to each other, there were two of them. We've also heard one when were were out running this spring. But the creepiest was one night I heard it do its hunting shriek right in our backyard. I've looked all over for this noise online, alot of people talk about it and how it will make your hair stand on end or prickles go up your spine, I haven't been able to find an example.

tonight going out to get the fly masks off the horses we heard a noise. At first I thought it was an Eastern Shriek Owl, but now I am thinking it might have been the Red Fox. We haven't heard it again since we've been in the house, the differences are too suttle to recall from memory.
