Hoots in the Night - ID please?

19 years ago

I live in Western Washington on some acreage with lots of 50 or so year old evergreens and all manner of other native flora. In my 25 years here, I've heard but never seen the occasional owl. Years back I had a Great Horned who would hoot near my window at night. However, recently we had a nightime visitor who gave off a series of very loud and enthusiastic hoots. It wasn't the sound of a Great Horned. I've heard the sound of a Barred Owl on a Barred Owl website that I freqented (until a Fisher killed most of the family one night and since then the box has gone empty), and it sounded like that. Could it have been?
