Bird Identification
Paula Tulsa
Recently a bird has been flying around my neighborhood at night, not really a pest since it usually quiets down after awhile. BUT I am curious to know what kind of bird this is. Could anyone help me out? There's no picture since the bird only comes at night but I did record the call it makes.

Where are you located? Can you describe the sound it makes? When you say "night"......is it completely dark out? What time of night? To start with, check out the sounds that a mockingbird makes. sometimes they sing at night.
It makes a loud repetitive chirping/pecking sound while it's flying around. It looks like it's a light color. I'm located in Southern California near Pasadena
I'm not familiar with all the birds in your area, but if it's at night, and it's not something like a mockingbird, I would google a couple of the herons.......like the black-crowned night heron, and some of the other herons.
