Ah, that seems like an owl might be easier than most other bird calls.
A recording of a hoot would be even more useful, that way a display of
the frequencies used over time could be calculated.

Sure, it would also be relatively easy to have it figure out all the closest
matches and then play them and allow an operator to say y/n. If you match
the "fingerprint" of the sound instead of just a single frequency peak I
suspect you could get pretty good accuracy even when the same frequencies
are created by thunder, coyotes, trees groaning in the wind, etc.
