I'll go out on a limb and suggest *maybe* a juvenile American Coot, if in
appropriate habitat. Additional examples can be found on eBird:

Good Birding,

It's August and the northern hemisphere is awash with baby birds. Bird
species we see every day are making sounds we've not heard before and may
not hear again. This may be a raptor, but l really don't, know. Adult
birds are about as taciturn as they get right now. The banding program at
Luckiamute Landing captured 102 birds this weekend. Almost 95% were
hatchyear birds. To judge by vocalizations the place was nearly devoid of
birds , when in truth the local avian count is likely at its annual high
point.

Hi, OBOLers. I recorded this in Ladd Marsh Wildlife Management Area, near
Hot Lake, in Union County on Aug. 23 at 9:24 a.m. I have no idea what
species it might be. What do you think it is?
