The saw-whet owl 'screams' and the flying squirrel chirpings sound right to
me....we have lots around here in northeastern BC. The squirrels at my
feeder (they show up every night) actually sound a fair bit higher pitched
and more faint than the ones you posted....but close enough. I couldn't
hazard a guess as to the ID of the mystery grunts.

Greetings-
I've posted some night sounds from 2 nights ago at:
http://www.caculo.com/sounds.htm
(recorded at Devil's Lake State Park, Southern Wisconsin)
I'm not sure about the Saw-whet owl ID, although it's close to the
whiny-scream call found in the Stokes CD. Also, at first I thought
the squeaky sounds gliding through very high treetops were coming
from bats, but a bat-expert (batter/batologist?) said it was
unlikely. I had naively compared the sounds to ones found in
www.batcalls.com and later realized those are all pitch shifted. The
latest consensus is Flying Squirrels (heard at
http://www.wap.atfreeweb.com/JavaCam/ near bottom of site).
I also have a few unknown grunts, maybe fox, but badly recorded. If
anybody cares to venture guesses, I'd appreciate the comments.
Cheers,
John Feith
