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.

This is rather late for Wilson's Snipe but their (aerial) call is very =
similar to a Boreal Owl. In spring/early summer one must be careful =
especially if heard from a distance.

A mated pair of Barred Owls have a communication between themselves that =

"Who-who-who-who, who cooks for you all?" which is downright normal in =
comparison. Also, young owls have some very harsh food-begging calls.=20

It would be "amazing" to find a Boreal Owl in Dartmouth in summer, =
probably roughly zero probability. But then, birds do what they will. =

  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.
