Night bird sound identification (1 Viewer)

I hear this bird all throughout the night starting at dusk in Southern Ontario (ignore the frogs in the background of the clip). Seems to be swooping around overhead in the dark. Is it a type of owl?

Thanks,
Dave

That is a Wilson's Snipe! It is the sound of air rushing over their tails.

Thanks! That's it for sure now that I listen to the Wilson's Snipe online. The help is appreciated. This is an awesome site, keep up the good work!
