What is this sound?

[awsell]

Other bird in the background include a Tennessee Warbler. Awesome screech-owl recording.

[ron8391]

the whinning sound is a owl you can type in enature they have lots of info and you can play the bird calls that goes with each bird.

[AliyaMussina]

owl?

[ChuckWillsWidows]

Definitely a screech owl.

[PantheraAtrox]

A Screech Owl

[skittleseer]

Two different birds at the beginning. One is definitely a screech owl. The other is a loon. A web footed, red crested lake loon.

[edantila]

This not a loon it ia an Eastern Screech owl for sure, you can imitate their call and bring them right up close

[S0lidState]

The other background bird next to the Chuck Will's Widow I thought was an owl, but maybe it's a mate doing it's thing.

[MiMiMary]

my husband talks to the screech owls and they talk back to him! We went meteor shower watching this summer and he started talking to one, then a bunch started in, you could hear them getting closer to see who the new guy on the block was! It was so much fun!

[agricola]

i second the screetch owl ID

[Rebecca9780]

It is a screech owl. I've spent a lot of time in the woods and I knew the sound right off, they make different sounds as you heard. If you are in the woods and aren't expecting it, they will scare the crap out of ya.

[Tecobelli]

It's a screech owl doing both sounds - great to have on tape

[swanheart710]

I always found it funny that screech owls don't screech =]

[umnachtet]

The sound in the background is an Eastern Screech Owl, I'm almost 100% sure.

[lazyboy1966]

it is a common loon

i know the sound , then it change to owl

[BigDuckKetterer]

The background birdcall is a common Loon !! TenStarsplus !!!!! This was fantabulous !!!!! They are hard to spot because they usually swim with only the head and neck out of the

Water!!! Kudos to you, for showing us this video !!!!!!!!!

[Reneesong77]

@BigDuckKetterer - I wish it were a Common Loon, but I think it's a Screech Owl as most have guessed. I don't think we even get Common Loons in our area. Thanks though. :)

[deerhunter29102]

@Reneesong77 yup its a screech owl

[screamingcockatoo]

HA! A little screech owl!

I have them in my backyard!

[Nyhee7]

yet strangely, in country folk lore, seeing an owl at night foretells a death, and hearing a whipoorwill or chuch will's widow under you window means a loved one has died. So actually, these are two death birds singing at the same time, what, do they cancel each other out? lol

[daniii37]

i love that noise sceech owls are awesome :]

[Sparrowhawk1031]

Yep it's a little screech owl all right. They're very cute :)

[imsuchaHOTIE]

eastern screech owl ai'nt it

[Jaggwire]

Screech Owl . . . older family members considered it to be good luck to hear two night birds' songs at once. I consider it lucky for me. :)

[Automeris]

Screech owl!

[sparkpenguin]

i love those little screech owls. i mimic them every time i hear one (which i'm not sure they appreciate even though it's damn good for a whistle :P)

they're adorable. not difficult to track down by ear and catch a glimpse of and they're not too shy, come into the tree by my porch all the time and meanmug me like i'm intruding.

[Way2Spirited]

Beautiful Post!!!! Thank You!

The mystery sound most certainly sounds exactly like a screech owl.

Where was this camping trip?

[tambourini]

Wow! I was trying to find who sings that song and I happened upon your vid with answers! I'll never forget that song! Thanks!

[nodlon20]

Screech owl!!

[KelisMcFresh]

I'm an ornithologist and it's an Eastern Screech Owl

[abercrombie4me03]

its an Owl of some sort. I used to hear them all the time as a child in our backyard and we would have to set off firecrackers to get them to leave so we could sleep. Im pretty sure its either a screech owl or a barn owl.

[abercrombie4me03]

definetly a whipporwill!

[abercrombie4me03]

definetly a whipporwill!

If you find out what that is in the backgroung PLEASE let me know I have been hearing that same exact sound almost every night for a couple of weeks outside my house in the woods

[jedamm]

that's interesting. i've heard that sound all through my childhood, but i've never questioned what it was. now i want to know.

[Elis1K]

Got the Chuck Wills Widow and the Screech Owl's whinny and tremelo calls. Got the Crow, Swainson's Thrush and Titmouse. Sorry - that's it for me!

[Innuendoes]

Are you positive that other bird isn't some type of loon? Were you near a lake or a pond?

[fritznjar]

ita a screech owl and a chuck wills widow

[Reneesong77]

Does anyone know what bird is singing around 1:24-1:36? It sounds warblerish to me...

[sselt]

@Reneesong77

That is a Black-and-white Warbler.

[lkkoller]

Screech Owl

[Reneesong77]

Mystery solved - it's an Eastern Screech Owl. So cool! At the time we were trying to go to sleep and this spookyish sound kept getting closer & closer to our tent.
