Trying to attach an MP3...I hope it works.  These two were calling to each other in my yard the other night just after dusk.  May have to turn up the volume to hear them.  Someone thought maybe they were coyote pups, but I got very close to the tree it was in and whatever it was, it flew over me to another tree.  So it's ...

I am in So. CA (suburban Riverside County). This bird(s) just appeared this week. It makes the same short whistle sound, that repeats every 2 seconds or so. This goes on for hours. Searched my guides and the Net but can't figure out what it is. Any ideas?

Hi there.  I have a kind of bird near my house (out in the country, near ponds and swamps, next to a forest, about 20 miles inland from the beach) that I hear but never can see.  I think they might be mating right now (Oct.), as they seem to be calling to each other quite often throughout the day.  I can't tell if they are ...

Here is a 40 second sound clip from a happy bird that I heard, but never saw at first light this morning. I am in suburban Philadelphia, PA and it was raining lightly with the temperature in the mid-40s. It reminds me of a robin in certain ways, but with an extra warble- at least I think that's the word for it. I'll just apologise ahead of ...

My friend is convinced there is a bear in the woods outside his house. He hears it growl late at night and it scares the beejeezus out of him. I have assured him that it's not a bear, but he doesn't believe me. I think the sound he hears is a bird. Perhaps an owl, nightjar or egret (shorebird). Can anyone help identify this mysterious bear-bird? ...

Please help a beginner - I can't get this song out of my head without learning what it is! I heard a very distinctive but unidentified bird call 2 weeks ago at Point Reyes National Seashore, near the Fivebrooks trailhead. The call was coming from near the top of trees in mixed forest (willow, spruce, bay, etc.) between a small pond and a ...

Hello.  There is a bird that favors the tree right outside our bedroom window, and is the first one up each morning.  My home backs to a mile-wide section of woods along the Potomac River in Loudoun, VA.  I've never seen it, but I stumbled upon it while listening to bird calls (trying to find my mystery bird!).  It's in the ...

I am in the North Georgia mountain area in light woods.  I keep hearing what sounds like a cat crying in the afternoons.  I think it's a bird because the sound seems to move but I have never seen anything.  Help!

Hello!  Thanks for such a great site!  I know almost nothing about birds, but it was a great interest of my grandparents.  Many happy memories watchng killdeer guard their nests in their front yard!  My question might be fairly difficult, since I didn't get to see the bird at all.  I live in Indianapolis, Indiana - urban ...
