I have been hearing this all summer, many days each week. The closest  
thing I know to it is when ospreys are calling to each other while  
wheeling high up.

The sounds I have been hearing, first thought to be ospreys, are  
definitely coming from dense treetops. I look hard, but don't see  
movement or flight in or out.

The cries and their rhythm are similar to ospreys', but a little more  
closely spaced and a little less bell-like.

Rather loud for young calling to their parents unless they are large  
birds.

Any clues from this vague description? Could it be raccoons?

Neighbourhood is central Dartmouth near Sullivan's pond.

Thanks,

Nancy
