    Need help identifying a bird or animal.....

    I've got some bird or wild animal in my backyard that yells out "Ow, Ow Ow" or "How How How"
    always in 3s and it does this around 2 or 3 in the morning loud enough that it keeps me awake even with the windows closed.

    Its not a hooting sound like and owl, but has more of an edge to it. I live in Michigan.

    Any thoughts?

    According to Ylvis, you've got yourself a seal.

      Crow maybe? Though that'd be a rather odd time for one. Without actually hearing it, it's probably going to be tough for anyone to help you.

      Edit: Some googling suggests you might have yourself a fox.

        Yeah, that's a fox. My parents up in the UP have a resident fox that roams around their side of the lake. It's loud as hell at night if it's by their house. The loons are even louder though, and more consistent.

          It kind of sounded like that, except it was 3 in a row back to back shorter in duration. Ow Ow Ow. I'll chalk it up at a fox. We have some sightings of them along the tree line in our neighborhood. We have tons of coyotes all over the place. I think there are 3 or 4 separate packs just around our neighborhood because when they get howling at night its coming from every direction.
