Mystery neighbor |

So two days ago Supermutt was terrified by a strange sound a |
|
little before 4 am. I hauled him in and went outside to feed the |
|
girls and heard it myself. It was a bit unnerving. I video |
|
recorded (only way to record tge sound) and went looking too. It |
|
sounded goose-like but in the trees. Shone the flashlight around |
|
to see if I could spot it (sorry human neighbors if I disturbed |
|
your sleep!). |
|
Whimsy listened and did some digging. |
|
We think our new neighbor is a raven! I hope the raven returns, |
|
but as we have resident owls, hawks and even a bunch or vultures |
|
that like to roost on our property, probably not. |
|
But it was so cool, once I knew it wasn't an injured bird, of |
|
course. |

So cool! I love ravens! They are so intelligent and |
|
fascinating. |
|
Cornell has the Merlin Bird ID if you are interested in |
|
identifying the sounds you heard. It's fantastic. |

I downloaded the BirdNet app, later that day. Now, I wait. |

I usually forget I have the Merlin app but just used it a couple |
|
days ago to identify some birds that were all over the parking |
|
lot of a Travel Plaza where we stopped for gas and some food in |
|
Oklahoma. |
|
It's fun to be able to identify them when I'm away from my |
|
familiar ones. |

Great-tailed Grackles |
|
We have Grackles but they don't have the long tail. And the |
|
females resembled a robin if the breat was sort of brown rather |
|
than red. |
