Alright, I may as well throw this out there.  I heard a bird call today that
I just can't figure out and it seems like I should be able to.  The call
itself was very owl-like and was 5 notes long.  It was 5 "Hoo"s with the 4th
being a higher note and the other 4 being the same.  Hoo-Hoo-Hoo-Hoo-Hoo.  I
don't think that it was an owl, it just was similar to the "hoo" - and I
have checked all of the possible owl calls, it doesn't seem to match any of
them.   The actual sound of the call wasn't as owl-like, as the owl calls
are all pretty distinct.  It wass the "hoo" part of it, if that makes any
sense.
 

Not much to go on, but I wanted to put it out to the list in case someone
knows what this was.  Thanks!  

 

Actually, while I'm at it, had a second call which sounded almost identical
to the Pine Warbler call, but faster.  If it wasn't for the speed of the
call I would say there were quite a few pine warblers around.

 

Thanks,
