Austin Texas area- ID with just a calling? (1 Viewer)

[ekillian]

I’m incredibly new to the community (can’t even really call myself a member yet), but I was wondering if someone could help identify a bird from just their calling. I can’t get an accurate recording, so the best I can get is describing it.

It sounds like, “ooa-hoo ooa-hoo”. There is an inflection on the “a” syllable, but other than that it’s a fairly even tone with no sound dying off.

Welcome.

It's tricky to put bird sounds into english letters as everyone does it differently. That said, my guess is that you might be a hearing a eurasian collared dove. There are many of them in residential areas, and they can sign frequently.

Hi there!

Can't help with the bird call but I would like to wish you a warm welcome from those of us on BirdForum! Enjoy!!

Well, after some careful deduction I finally figured out what bird it was! The call is one from a White Winged Dove. Thank you for pointing me in the right direction @abirdingguy
