Folks, I got an odd call that I can't identify on October 2, about 1:30 AM. Location is Cleveland Heights, Ohio, in a suburban setting. The call was repeated four times over 5 or 10 minutes. My first reaction was that it resembles a young hawk call (Red-shouldered or Red-tailed), although it seems kind-of squeaky for that. A friend's first reaction was similar, although he also suggested young owl, which would make better sense at 1:30 in the morning. The links below are to spectrogram images (two of them) on Flickr and the call itself on xeno-canto.
Thanks for any help.
