I heard some sounds while standing outside and would like some help identifying the animal. I live in Ohio, and it is the middle of winter right now and i cannot figure out what the animal might be. The sound was a shrill, wooooeeeee woooooeeee. It It sounded like a bird call, but I could hear leaves crackling as the noise was being made. It is too cold for tree frogs (which is what came to mind originally) So if anyone has any idea what it might be please help me out! Thanks!
We had great horned owls by our house and there was a field about 1 mile away, with telephone poles on the edge. These poles provided a great vantage point for the owls as they hunted varmints. Their call could easily travel a mile to our house on a cold, calm winter day.
