another mystery sound

["Don Lloyd" donslloyd]

Setting up to record a pair of Great-horned owls that often visit around
midnight and got this thing instead. I've heard raccoons make a growl-like
sound, but not this extended. It starts off in a kind of feline mode, so I
thought bobcat at first, but then it takes on a vaguely canine quality
toward the end, so coyote also comes to mind. It's either a really angry
parrot or a shape-shifter. (You can hear a large dog barking in the
background - that's about 1/4 mile away. And there's a little touch of
distant motorcycle thrown in for good measure.)

Any IDeas? I seem to recall a similar "mystery" recording a month or so back
on this list, but I don't recall whether there was a determination. Haven't
been able to ferret it out yet. Will poke around some more.
