Illinois Howl

["Stan" <>]

I recorded this howl on the 4th of April.  I live along a creek in
Central Illinois. The creek is wooded but the area is primarily
agricultural.

My equipment is a Marantz PMD 670 solid state recorder and Audio-
Technica Pro 37 R cardioid condenser microphone and was simply placed
in my back yard.  This howl woke me up and this is the sound that I
recorded:

I have had suggestions about it being a coyote, coy-dog or fox.  I have
heard lots of those animals but nothing like this.  I did not know if
we have anyone in the group with special knowledge with these animals.

Thanks,
