I heard the call of an Eastern Screech Owl in Connecticut for the first time this evening. It’s a really freaky sound. It was also a bit distant, which made it even freakier. Take a listen to this file courtesy of the Missouri Department of Conservation:

Then turn down your sound so it’s real faint and pretend you’re outside in the woods and it’s coming to get you!
