One minute it sounds like it's coming from one direction, then it seems like from another, BUT, if you walk towards the sound (when it seems it moved), you find out it is really comming from the same direction as before. If you are in Suissevale (tonight) hopefully it will be back again, It was here last weekend also.

Based upon this description, I am personally convinced it's a mockingbird.

That is WAY too rational.

Come on dpg, we all know we can NEVER have "Too Many!" LOL....No I was stone cold sobber, when it "started" making the sounds on Thursday, and Friday nights. Although After a while, I joined in with lakesider singing, playing my guitar, and it scared the "Weird sounds," away! (only joking around)..Maybe it will be back this coming weekend and I can find a way to record it. "pepper," I checked out the "Mockingbird calls," and it wasn't him either.

Eagle have you heard it since?, I went through this last summer and it was driving me nuts.I live by skellys market and it was haunting me for almost a month.It started only at night and was high pitched like a girl screaming and change directions quickly but never heard it moving(rustling leaves,etc.) At one point i assumed it was bigfoot in the ossippee mountains because I had never heard anything like it-lol. Then it happened in the morning so I followed the sounds through the woods and never saw it.Not a fisher cat or owl as I went through all the sounds on the internet at the time also. My closest guess would be a red fox. Listen to the howl-#6 and see if there is any similarity

What I heard was very much like a sonar blip from a submarine

Young Girl screaming I discovered to be a baby bear, after seeing a mother and lil bear cub in the back corner of my property after hearing those alarming sounds and leaves rustling.

I had a little time on my hands, and decided to check out youtube to see if I could locate any nocturnal mockingbird videos. I found a lot of them, but the two that follow blew my mind. enjoy ...





These two in particular exemplify the astounding variety of sounds mockingbirds are capable of imitating, in addition to stealing the songs of all the other birds. Car alarms, cell phone ringtones, ambulance sirens and other man-made sounds are becoming more and more frequent repertoire for these incredible birds.
