What is this sound?

While camping, we heard a Chuck-will's-widow singing at night but also heard something else that we didn't know and need identification help. There's also other bird songs & pictures in the video.

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 !!!!!!!!!

@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. :)

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

[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.

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

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

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

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.
