Observation details
Walked outside and heard it calling. It was in a narrow mature pine plantation not far from the road and close to an open grassy area and some buildings. My first encounter hearing or seeing this species. It sounded further away than it ended up being. Low single hooo calls separated by about 3.5-4 seconds. Recorded it for about six minutes then got my family to hear it. It stopped calling while we were listening and my son said he saw a bird fly off. It was probably calling for at least 10 minutes. I did not see it. This is within the potential breeding season, but not within the safe dates. It was the male advertising call. Will continue to listen and see if I hear it again.
