Can anyone identify what type of winged creature in central Florida could be making this horrible sound? I've attached a .mp3 file with 5 calls stretched out over 2 minutes. The first call is nearly 20 seconds in, so have patience.
Some details: It begins at nightfall, and goes throughout the night, ceasing with the sunrise. It's a single call, with anywhere from 12 to 19 seconds in between. The call does not seem to be answered by another bird in the area. I know it's some type of bird because it's high up in a tree AND when I've taken early a.m. walks (2 or 3 a.m.), it'll change location too quickly for ground travel plus climbing up high again.
This bird is new to my neighborhood -- been here 10 years and never heard this before last fall. Went away for about a month but it's back again!
I've scoured the Internet's bird call audio files and listened to everything I can find -- and still no match. I'm counting on y'all now... thanks for being there!
