Maybe a grackle, and I think there are some red-wing blackbirds in the recording as well. It could just be all red-wing black birds I guess.

Went to see the eclipse and during totality when it got dark a lot of nighttime sounding insects started making sounds!
What
Eurasian Collared-Dove (Streptopelia decaocto)Observer

Maybe an owl or a dove? The sound I'm trying to focus on isn't the chirping in the foreground, but rather the cooing/hooting sound in the background.

Poor little dove didn't look to be doing so well. Might have flown into a car and gotten injured.

Red-tailed Hawk (Buteo jamaicensis)Observer

One of these days I'm going to invest in a nice camera with a lense that can actually zoom. Until then, this crummy phone camera will have to do.
In any case, the bird on the post was definitely a red-tailed hawk and it was eating some small animal, probably some rodent. The hawk flew away before I could get very close but I did see fresh blood on the post where it had been eating.

Common Raccoon (Procyon lotor)Observer

Not entirely sure but thought this might be a raccoon. There are also plenty of dogs in this area (and dog tracks nearby) so it could just be a dog.
