What animal is making this frigging noise?

) August 27th, 2010

It sounds like a pigeon coo, but warbled. Imagine that “doodly doo” noise they make in Wayne’s World when they’re doing a flashback. I hope you know what I mean.
I think it’s a bird, but I’m not sure. It’s 2 am and I can hear it pretty loud. It’s annoying, please help me find out what it is. For those who don’t know, I live in mountain-y Southwest Washington.

Oh my god, that’s totally it. That was freaky. I wasn’t sure anyone could understand my weird description. Thank you! We actually have owls up here and I completely forgot about them. You rule!

Your description was perfect. The Wayne’s World reference nailed it for me.

They’re usually much closer than they sound and are fairly skittish. Just walk outside with a flashlight and jump around or shake some branches if it is bothering you.

Or respond. I usually imitate their calls back to them. It’s really cute how worked-up they get.
