This is a snip from a recording caught automatically in Andes, NY.
It has been suggested to be:
screech Owl
coyote
snipe (winnowing sound)
I am not to sure of any of these. It has a resonance that seems to
indicate some distance. The two chirps are from what I believe to be
a phoebe. Phoebes nest under the eaves of the house close to where
the microphone is placed. It is on a hillside at 2,300 feet in the
Catskills. The nearest wet fields are a 1/4 mile and the nearest
wetlands 1/2 mile down in the valley.
The microphone is a WM 61B capsule connected to a an old PC running
the capture software.
