Actually some of those don't fit the criteria of a 'single note' (which I
missed on first read), but still you should look at frog calls as the
possible culprit as well. :)

Seeing it was on the tail-end of a big-rain, I'd check amphibian calls as
well. Green tree-frog, bird-voiced tree frog, Cope's gray tree frog,
Fowler's toad, etc. all come to mind as possibilities.

How does this call compare to a juvenile Great Horned Owl?

This is a good resource, Frank, but you'd have to try likely species and
listen to the variety of vocalizations/sounds for each candidate.

What I like about it is the nice array or files for each species, which
is useful when trying to figure out the culprit. I've found a number of
interesting sounds made by common species that I hadn't heard previously.
Of course, the source is more than likely something expected.

I stepped out the back door long before dawn this morning to see how much
it rained (2.7 inches). While outside, I heard a call note that didn’t
match any nocturnal birds I’m familiar with. It was a singular, falsetto
toned sound, repeated every 10 seconds or so. Once upon a time, I had a set
of 33 rpm records titled ‘A Field Guide to Bird Songs’. Being a few
decades beyond possessing a functioning turntable, I don’t think I’m going
to ID the sound with that resource. There are bird songs on line, but I
suspect I would have trouble selecting search terms that would locate this
bird.
