The observers, Peter May and Kim Forster, heard something calling at dusk along the Debert Beach at low tide, from the area where the salt marsh grass meets Fundy mud. They didn't see what was calling (though presumed it was a bird), and were not able to make a sound recording. Upon searching the internet for a similar call they settled upon Black Oystercatcher as the bird with the call most similar to what they heard. Here is the web page with the call: http://tinyurl.com/2dsa4hs And that is where the mystery rests. They have not heard the call again, but are open to ideas.
