A year and a half ago I recorded a series of very pitched screams here in Central Illinois.
Please see: Â Illinois Screamer – Pt. 1
In that post I posted Red Fox screams to illustrate the difference.

This past week I have recorded what I think is similar screams. I also have a friend who lives about 1/2 mile from me. Just as it was getting dark he heard what he described as a very long loud high pitched scream. It was only about 75 yards from his back door and he did not investigate. He heard only one scream not a series. I emailed him my recording and he thinks it matches what I recorded.

I am not sure what this is, I don’t believe it is a Red Fox but possibly it could be a Bobcat or a Cougar.
Hi Stan:
Lone Coyote.
I've heard it with my wife camping.
No belt in the gut like a big creature.
Freaky sound. But, a coyote all the same.

This is a such a poor recording I hesitated to post it. However, it is different than most of the hundreds of coyotes I have records.
There are quite a few websites that host nature sounds. If you can find a link I would be happy to check it out. My goal is to stay away from anecdotal explanations.
