Hooting bird (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

owl

'hooting bird' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for owl that I've seen before include "Wise old night-flier" , "One flying" , "Wise figure" , "One swoops" , "Nocturnal bird of prey" .)

I've seen this clue in the King Feature Syndicate, The Star Tribune, the Newsday, The Telegraph, the Penny Press, The Sun, the LA Times and the Universal.
