What's That Sound? - sad warble

Hi Doug,
I enjoyed your website, but I'm having a difficult time trying to identify 
the sound I hear at dusk.  I think it's a bird, but I've listened for birds 
my whole life and never heard a sound like this one.  The 7 or 8 tones 
start at a high note and decrease, seeming to hit each note in an 
octave.  It sounds somewhat like a sad warble.  It's not a clear song like 
that of the birds I hear in Michigan.  Could it be an owl or hawk?  I sit 
outside every night and try to locate the vicinity of the creature, and it 
is usually in the same tree, but it is too dark to focus the binoculars 
on.  Thank you for helping me. Denise.
