Hi Stan, fun noise! Is the almost horn-like quality of the sound
natural, or did that come as a result of filtering (I get really
weird effects of filtering out background noise with software
sometimes). 'Cause if whatever made that sound actually sounded
like that to your ear, I can say with a fair degree of certainty
that it wasn't a native North American bird of any kind.
But as to what it was? It almost sounds like a much lower pitched
version of some elk bugles, but that really doesn't make any sense
for Illinois.
cheers,
randy
p.s.- I like this "guess the noise" game. Is this something people
do a lot of on this group?
