Agreed -  sounds like a sneezing / coughing ungulate

I have one more mystery from the same morning about two hours later.
This wheezy cough like sound began far left and approached over three
minutes or so. Seams to be following the length of the wetland meadow.

Here are the final 30 seconds with that interesting sound.

The clip ends two and a half hours of pristine dawn chorus recording:
the first jet interrupts less than a minute later.

Again any opinions on what creature made this sound will be greatly
appreciated.  My guess is a heron or crane of some sort.
