[va-richmond-general] owling success/question

    I played tapes for E. Screech, Barred, and Great Horned Owls. We got a 
response from a Barred Owl ! of 3 - not a bad batting average). Flew to the 
perfect spot and gave everyone a great look. It also did us the favor of 
calling and hanging around for at least 15 minutes.
    Question: If there was a hawk nesting nearby (the young have fledged), will 
the hawk be upset and respond to the owl calls if they're near (couple 100 feet 
away) from the nest, even though it's at night and the young have fledged? The 
hawk species-in-question is a Red-tailed. Thoughts? Please let me know
