Observation details
Big surprise while trudging through a foot of snow in the middle of the night (2:30 am)! Heard double hooting fairly close about 8-10 times before falling silent. I assumed my recording would be excellent given the bird's proximity, but it appears that the wind all but drowned it out. I spent a bunch of time trying to improve the audio file, but you can still only faintly hear the bird at the 3 second mark in the recording (at full volume). This spot was a 20 mile round trip e-bike trek, and the uppermost 3 miles (both ways) had 6-12 inches of snow. This route sees 2,000+ feet of elevation gain. 39.946364,-121.482391
