Owl Humor?

There are at least four Great Horned owls in my neighborhood. Now, in mid October, they are quiet much of the time. Sometimes, however, they all get together and sing. They start with fairly random hooting, low voices and high ones, spaced about 20 seconds apart. As the hooting continues, the time between them shortens, eventually one voice overlaps another (like singing in a round), sometimes hooting in unison, building in frequency like a concert. After a few minutes they slow the pace, then rest. In that beautiful silent moment, one lone owl, as loud as possible and with perfect comedic timing, says: "eeeeyuuuuwh-UHP!"
