My late wife reported hearing a scream from what she thought was a cougar out behind the house. After she died, I heard the same thing one summer evening. But the bird identification book says that fledgling Great Horned Owls also scream for food from the parents. For some reason, what I heard did sound somewhat owlish, so I suspect that is what I heard. Can anyone comment on whether some reports of cougars screaming might just be Great Horned Owl fledglings?
