night herons (ok, this is the same one, but the other 4 weren’t being as photogenic or avoiding branches)

Have you ever heard an owl honk?!
It’s like a goose kinda.
We heard that noise super loud and close. Then hooting. Confused!!
But got some light on it and got to see a gorgeous owl!! Sadly it was so exciting and unexpected and of course night time so no photos, but some audio recordings!
It was high on a tree on a dead branch, the tree just off our deck!
EDIT: Here’s 14 seconds with the hooting and a glimpse, albeit not the best!
EDIT: Based on iNaturalist and some youtube videos I suspect this might have been a Great Horned Owl!
EDIT: Trying to share the honk sound
