Great Horned Owls calling at 4:30pm in the afternoon and a Wood Duck

Yesterday, January 25 me, my dad and my brother were birding around town and headed over to a good viewing spot on the Dead River. When we got there, this caught my attention.

While I was looking at the woody in my scope I heard this ''hoo-hoo hoooooo hoo-hoo''. I thought to myself 
''Am I hearing this right?''
I hear ''hoo-hoo hoooooo hoo-hoo'' again and I call my dad and brother out of the car. There was a deeper Great Horned Owl call(male) and a higher call(female), both calling to each other. Unfortunately, we weren't able to see them, as often is the case with owls.  
It was really cool and definitely a cool first for me!
