As I sat down to breakfast before sunrise this morning, I heard a strange noise 
coming from my very urban backyard.  It sounded vaguely like one of my dog’s 
squeak toys or maybe a duck.  I think I found the silhouette of a GHOW sitting 
up high in the tall cottonwood tree in our yard.  The GHOWs frequently call 
from that tree in early winter.  After a while it was answered by a HOOT.  
Exploring on the web, I see that the call is a HARNK.   I was not able to 
record it.
