Hi Pete, I believe that is a call from an American Crow. I don't remember what the name is to describe this type of call. But, it's that more clear and somewhat higher frequency series of "guttural" notes that I've heard being produced by crows in the past. I think Kevin McGowan might be the best person to answer this question. Anyone else know the call type or name/purpose?
