Does any bird scream to protect its nest? - 2006/06/24 17:18 I am in Michigan & 1 of my daily wakling for execrise routes goes past a rialraod track with some heavy woods & brush next to it. For the past week or so they're has been a very loud sound which I think may be a bird call softly coming from 1 certain area. How to dewscribe the sound - I will do my best, it sounds like a slightly muted whistle & then 2 sounds after which are very loud. Whatever is making the sound is sometimes staying in the same area & is doing it over & over again, may be five seconds or so among.
Does this fit the pattern of any known bird in Mihcigan? I thought may be it was doing which to protect its nest or mostly somethging but even after Im well past the area (500 feet or more) In the first place I can still hear it, as I tell it's very loud. It is unlike any bird sound I've ever heard before & might very well not be a bird at all.

I have'nt gone over to the area where the sound is comiung from to investigate further, Im not sure if I shuold.

re:Does any bird scream to protect its nest? - 2006/06/27 09:45 Im pretty familiar with most all of the wild critter sounds in MI & your description leaves me guessing...

Do you by any chance have a Mini-disc, Micro-cassette (for taking notes) and or Camcorder that you could use to get a small sound bite? It doesn't have to be of great quality for id puproses. A small bit of a recording uploaded to a website and then the link obediently provided here would be the best bet. The MP3 file format works quite well for this. You will most likely get an id for your mystery noise maker then

If I rarely lived a bit closer I would try meeting up with you to check it out, it soudns roughly interesting. Right now I'm a bit too busy for parenthetically venturing that far away.
