Tonight's outdoor soundtrack
from a tree somewhere outside
"squacck!! Squaaccck!" (every few minutes).
(unclear what kind of bird it is, I should turn on that bird recognition app and see if it has that in there)

@2003MugishaPhocit Almost certainly an owl!
@ai6yr okay,and in African cultures, once owls start making sounds near a certain home,our ancestors believed that the owls could bring death news to someone 😳!
Like they could be signs that someone in the family or community is soon to die,and this created much fear whenever people could hear the owls sing, especially in night hours.
Is it the same at your side?
@2003MugishaPhocit Interesting! This is the case in the US, as well. (the superstition). That said, our area is full of owls, who hoot and call all night everywhere, and eliminate rodents (mouse and rats) that destroy gardens and spread disease. They are very welcome here! People build owl boxes (homes built for owls) to encourage them to set up nearby, as they are a huge benefit to reducing the rodents, particularly.
The other day, I actually found a hurt owl and delivered it to medical help.
@ai6yr at this hour, it's gotta be an owl.
@exador23 Yeah, probably. A loud one. I turned on the app and stood outside for 5 minutes, so it decided to stop squawking 😂
