owl hooting
Nocturnal bird's cry
Owl hooting is the characteristic call of an owl—a deep, resonant sound often written as "hoo" or "who." The phrase typically describes the sound itself or the act of an owl making it: We lay awake listening to owl hooting in the woods.
Owl hooting features in folklore as an omen, sometimes of death or misfortune.
