Why would a snipe be on Tulip street? And why would crows bother to =
chase one? I=E2=80=99m now assuming it was just an unusual call from a =
=E2=80=9Cloony=E2=80=9D barred owl. The sound was not raucous at =
all=E2=80=94lower-pitched than the wilson=E2=80=99s on the Cornell site.
Thanks to all who have tried to solve my mystery.

Some of the Barred Owl calls having a hooting quality to them. They
are very open to urban areas as well. It might be one of these.
