Northern Red-billed Hornbill
Tockus erythrorhynchus

Ok, no tok tok, but instead this came to my mind tik tik tak and it is such a happy song...why not? I love Brazil, I think the angry African mama bird could be happy with this.

Destination outward bound
I turn to see the northern lights behind the wing
Horizons seem to beckon me
Learned how to cry too young, so now I live to sing

Great horned owl
Bubo virginian

I was about to share a video about Basque witches or about Harry Potter (owls are supposed to be wise but also mysterious) but I found this Catalan group instead, Búhos, Horned owls, with this happy song.

Great horned owl
Bubo virginian

Never heard of this owl so was wondering how large it is? I see it is a close relative of the eagle owl - which are massive.

so glad you got to see them both! I met a few of the Dap-Kings outside the venue by the tour bus waiting for Amy Winehouse to come out after their show in Boston years back 💔

#MusicChallenge #BirdSongs | Great horned owl

"An owl hoots. The moon. Searches from the sky. Pierced with its sister stars. And the mermen of the lea. Sing their silken song to me..."

"Mermen of the Lea" by And Also the Trees (from "Green Is the Sea", 1992)

Great horned owl
Bubo virginian

Aggressive and powerful in its hunting this 'tiger owl' targets rabbits, hawks, falcons, skunks... and porcupines, sometimes with fatal results for both parties. Deep hoots can be heard in the forest. Extremely soft feathers.
