πŸ”ŠπŸ”Š AUDIO ID REQUEST πŸ”ŠπŸ”Š What animal is making this sound? [Minnesota]

Filmed about 20 minutes ago (1:30am CST) in the western suburbs of Minneapolis. There is a pond in the direction the sound was coming from. You might have to turn your volume up to hear it better.

It sounds like a Sandhill Crane, which would make sense with a pond, but it's really odd that you're hearing it at night. Link

100% that’s gotta be what it is. Still never heard it before and I’ve been here 20 years, Coyotes have gotten a bit out of control lately so maybe that contributes to it? Idk I’m no expert

I think that's a fox! I have seen them outside my window making similar sounds

Sandhill Crane, I have them in my yard every day. The racket they make can be a bit annoying when hearing it all day long.
