I really cannot say much about this recording.  The sound was nearly
hidden in the constant hum of a sewage treatment plant and crickets.
I don't have any idea as to the distance from the microphone but I am
guessing that it would be maybe over 1000 feet.  I do have a lot of
coyotes and barred owls but I don't think this fits.=20

Thanks everyone for your interest in this recording.
