Media notes
This is the same recording, only without the part where the bird is flying, so the hisses are louder
Observation details
RECORDED!!! I was waiting for the Elf Owl to start calling again when I heard the sounds of a large something in the dark that I thought was on the ground going through brush. Then I could hear the sounds of heavy wingbeats and the louder sounds of landing on the power pole above me. It seemed too loud for an owl. then it started to hiss. I guessed it was a vulture, but had to get my camera flash to operate to know for certain.
