photo: kids.nationalgeographic.comIt got up to 82 today and so when I got home, I opened up all the windows and turned on the ceiling fans and it felt warm and almost tropical in the house (nice til I want to sleep...) and the peepers were serenading...
And then, this sound, like a bird? A fox in heat? Or something trapped and succumbing, across the lake, in the dark...Unsettling if you were a creature outside, and being safe inside...
I just wondered "What the hell is it?"

LOL....I don't think I've seen a frog since I left Louisiana.
Sounds spooky whatever it is. It reminds me of the call of a hawk at night.
Spoookeeee! I'd hide under the bed.
It doesn't sound like our hawks? Maybe an owl? Or an alien! Ahhhhhh...
It's the mating call of the wild Tiger (Woods.)
LOL at Timoteo. I have no idea but please let us know if you find out. :)
It sounds like a heron--quite a few are active at night, especially during migration and the breeding season. I'm not sure what part of the country you live in so I don't know what herons you would have but if I had to guess, I would say this is a yellow-crowned night-heron.
According to all of the mysteries I see on tv from britian, it is a fox.
The sounds in nature can indeed be creepy, alarming, amusing, fascinating, vurry scurry, but they never fail to amaze me with their variety.
Snatch JOY!
