Vocalizations near the summit of Silver Star Mountain
Account
A couple hiked to the top of Silver Star Mountain and stopped to rest and eat. The witness heard a loud two-part whoop from a valley to the north, then heard it again about 15 minutes later and a companion also heard the second sound. They waited in silence without further sounds and then hiked back down without seeing the source.
