Louisiana Bird ID by Song (name that tune!) (1 Viewer)

So I live in Blanchard, LA and have noticed a bird singing a short 2-note song 🎵 in my yard on multiple occasions. We have heard this call so many times that my 16 year old son actually caught it on audio in the attached video. The song is not very loud on the video, but it is audible at at about the 2 second mark of the video.

Next let me say that my house is back in the woods where the closest street or house is about 150+ yards away. There is NO WAY that this sound is from an app on someone’s telephone. This is not a joke or some silly hoax. I sincerely think the Twitter Bird lives in my front yard!

Can anyone PLEASE tell me what kind of bird is making this song?!!!

Hard to tell from a 3 second clip, but could it be a turkey?
They are pretty clever at hiding, although their calls do travel.
In the spring, they get really loud, so stay tuned.

Please let us know if you can find the actual bird, my guess could be way off.
