Only minor adjustments were made to the recording, including noise reduction and minor amplification; no splits or cuts were made. Calls continued in roughly one-minute intervals for more than 30 minutes. A running creek surrounds vast quantities of open fields/ farmland. Mature trees flank the creek on both sides. This owl emerged from a mature sycamore tree alongside the creek just after sunset, entertained by our calls and flew in to investigate. bird-seen:yes playback-used:no
