see if you can distinguish any real difference between two loons conversing and a thread in which the rifle and loon start agreeing with each other and promising each other oral sex. Sounds just like two loons calling to me. But, you be the judge.


"pair wail" is the best.

Oh also listen to the "hoot" a blast of sound followed by nothing at all. Again much like rifle and ranger, sound followed by nothing of importance at all.

Sounds like Philly, frogsrangers and tt, too

Yeah you can be excused for confusing them like many birds they are hard to distinguish at times, especially to the untrained ear but with practice you will get better. The main idea is to listen for bs, all the R birds thrive with what I named the bull shit call. They tweet and whistle a tune for years and sometimes decades and when all the other animals of the kingdom decide that their bird call is just bs well they give up on that and start with another bs call. They are resilient and not open to change at all even when some of their own family call them "loony birds", or "wacko birds." But sadly they are doomed to extinction.
