Sounds in the Night
For the last two evenings when I take the dog out, I can hear this strange bird calling. Honestly, it sounded like a monkey. So I went back inside and tried to look up which birds sound like monkeys. It brought up a lot of owls. But none of the owls that made a noise even close to what I heard live in the area.
I asked my husband if he knew any birds that sound kinda like a monkey. After going through all the owls that live around here, he asked if it could’ve been a duck. I didn’t know, I mean loons don’t quack like a typical duck. He suggested the Bufflehead. I had never heard of that but they he played the sound of it calling and sure enough, that was it.
Then he said he’s seen them recently in the dugout swimming around in pairs so it would make sense that they would be calling in the fields at night.
This is what they look like (not my picture). Male is on the left, female on the right.
