    I keep hearing a bird at dusk but birdNET doesn't know what it is. What's the best way to share an audio file here? It's currently in WAV format.

    Does it sounds like a slow squeak/screech, like someone slowly opening a rusty gate?

    If so, Long Eared Owl chicks, and please log the record via the link below! https://bwi.maps.arcgis.com/apps/GeoForm/index.html?appid=ea8c3ee7f1a04dbaa984e71b89c6f82c

    No, I know that call. This one is croaks (two long, two short) and a tweet. The tweet is definitely the same bird, not some other bird interjecting, it's the same every time. Birdnet's 'wild guess' is a raven and there are plenty of ravens in the area but the glimpses I have caught don't look like a raven. Maybe I'm wrong and it's a specific "heading home for the night" call that ravens make, different from their usual repertoire of sounds. Whatever it is seems to follow the roads in the woods on its flight.
    Is there no way to share audio on boards?

    It was a woodcock!
