We have a pair, actually more but 2 living close, that you can hear a lot of nights.
Saw one high in a tree late one evening, BIG maybe 18" tall, but they can bereally loud too at night.
When they perch in the trees right around our house they will wake you.

Figure they help keep the mice and squirel population in check.
