Sound #1: “Hoot”
This two-note hoot is usually made by the males during mating and over territorial issues. While searching the plains for these owls, don’t confuse this two-note call with the call of a quail.
Sound #2: Raspy Warbling
This raspy warbling sound is made by young owls and adults to help protect the colony when predators are around. Other sounds Burrowing Owls might make to defend themselves are clucking, screaming, and rattling.
