Chris,

Thanks. That seems to be it. It's neat to hear them here, since I know 
they are around, but they are all but invisible -- I've only seen them once.

[nfc-l] ID help

[Laura C. Gooch]

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.
