I've encountered many, MANY rough-legs and only heard the scream a couple o=
f
times over 25+ years...good to get it recorded....

ahh, the dreaded 'tic - tic - tic of the catalytic converter! That, I've
heard more than enough. The bane of roadside listeners and recordists
everywhere!

I went birding with Mark Alt of this list yesterday.
He handled the video and I worked the audio.

We got a recording of a Rough-Legged Hawk (adult dark phase) at 150
feet and Short-Eared Owl screems at 20 feet.

My question is if anyone can give an opion on if a Rough-Legged Hawk
screeming is indeed rare.  It is for both of us.

The catalytic converter of the car in the background is not a rare
sound and I need to find an auto mechanic that will pull it out and
replace it with a glass pack muffler.
