Last night I got the "who cooks for you." Same owl, or do they compete for territory?

Hi Charlie,
Yes, It would be helpful if you listened to some Northern saw-whet owl
recordings. If you are able, note how an individual call (what you are
calling a hoot) ends. Also, it is possible that the bird will give an
entirely different call at times. So don't be surprised.
