WR: Night Twenty-seven

Rain off and on through the night and morning. Quite a bit of activity in the early hours of the morning. I can’t decide whether the calls were from Gulls, Otters, or both.

Mystery Calls: These calls started around 4am, and continued off and on for the next couple of hours, at least. I have included three different clips. Mostly they sound like gulls to me, but I am not sure why gulls would be out and about this early in the morning (well before daylight). Some of the calls are slightly more reminiscent of River Otter chirps, and I am unsure of the range of otter vocalizations, so perhaps they are otters.
