>> At my mother's house in southwest Medina county last night I heard a
>> bird call I could not identify. Mom says it has been calling for a
>> week or more -- only after dark and until very late at night (at least
>> until she finally falls asleep). She does not hear it during daylight
>> hours. It is a lone bird, none of its calls are returned. In 31 years
>> living there she has never heard anything similar. The call itself is
>> a single plaintive descending shriek... 8-12 seconds apart, very loud,
>> fairly clear. I don't believe it was an owl -- certainly none I'm
>> familiar with. Its quality reminded me of a gull call, but much
>> louder. I wonder if it could be some sort of misplaced domestic fowl.
>> The calls are louder and softer, to suggest the caller is facing
>> sometimes away and sometimes toward us. It seems to be emanating from
>> approximately the same area every night, about 1/8 mile away, at a
>> property that currently is unoccupied. Probably overgrown grassy and
>> shrubby area with saplings --
>> a pond and dense woods are nearby.
>>
>> Any ideas?
