I was in Grand Rapids for work this week. Last night at about 10PM behind the Country Inn and Suites on 169, I heard a call from the finger woods, back toward the Nursing home. The sound was a cross between a Pheasant, Night Heron and crow. The Pheasant / Night Heron cross was the "tone" and the crow part was the length of the call with a slight decending nature at the end. It called a half dozen times near the hotel, but as I tried to approach it went way behind the nursing home. I never got closer (I'm guessing now of course) than 100 yards from it. Listening to my birding CD's I could not find an owl that fit. Of course my CD's are not all inclusive either. Honestly, I've heard it before, but I don't know - or I just don't remember.
