Possible vocalizations heard at sundown near the North Rim of the Grand Canyon
Account
The witness and seven relatives camped for several nights on a hunting trip and heard repeated double whoop vocalizations each evening from dusk until just after dark. The sounds came from ridges around camp, with a regular source to the west and additional answering sources to the southeast and north on later nights. The witness said the sounds resembled examples on the archive site and were unlike familiar animal sounds of the region.
