Is there a bird in the western U.S. that has or can have a call that sounds similar to a siren or an alarm?
I'm asking this for a friend who was camping recently in a remote forest area in western Montana, the state where we live. She said she heard it nearly every morning during the week they were camping but couldn't see the bird because of the thick forest. I even asked if maybe it was a car alarm but she said no, there were no other campers near them...it was a very isolated area.
Sorry that's all I have to offer as far as identifying but I said I'd try to help. I know that sometimes blackbirds can mimic but I wasn't sure if the red-wing and yellow-headed blackbirds in the area could do that. Thanks for any help.
