I'll take a closer look with the field glasses tomorrow.

I did a lot of looking and found out that it was the Common snipe. Here is a link that has an audio clip, listen to it all the way to the end and that's the sound your hearing. http://identify.whatbird.com/obj/984/overview/Common_Snipe.aspx

flycaster Joined: 06/14/2004 Location: ND	Since this is a subject about bird ID, how do I find what kind of bird makes a certain sound? I've heard these birds all my life but I've never seen the bird that makes the sound. Maybe haven't looked hard enough. I hear them now in Bismarck, especially in the morning. They aren't robins or doves. They make two distinct sounds that sound like a whistle. The first is a higher pitch than the second. Kind of sounds like the first two notes on Beethoven's 5th.
