Hi, all!
 
I recorded a strange owl vocalization just as we were wrapping up our Big Sit at Bentsen State Park (TX) around 10:00 this past Sunday (11 OCT); I had no clue what it was, but did comment to some of my birder friends here that it kinda reminded me of some Spotted Owl vocalizations I had heard.  Another knowledgeable birder linked me to a Mottled Owl recording from Xeno-Canto, which was spookily similar!  Eric Carpenter very kindly posted the recording on his own website, and here's the link:
 
I'm already being encouraged by a couple of people to send in documentation, but I'd like a little more feedback before getting too excited!  Thanks!
