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.
