What bird makes this sound?

Mourning Dove?

Yep, that’s a mourning dove. (click on “Sounds and Calls.)

Yes! Thank you it is the mourning dove!!

Yeah, thought so. I have approximately a million living in the trees around my apartment. I got really excited thinking there was an owl nearby when i moved in before i realized who it really was. :-( Of course, I also have falcons and occasional bats and hawks and surprisingly pretty buzzards around, so I’m not sure what I’m complaining about.

And not to dis the doves, I think they’re also quite pretty. But they are much more common.

@BhacSsylan

You probably do have owls around. In much of the world, the most common owl is the barn owl- which doesn’t sound like an owl at all.

If it is at night, it might be a Screech Owl. They do a low, woo,..... woo, woo, woo, call also.
But yes, I’d agree it is a Mourning Dove if it is in daylight hours.

I do an awesome Mourning Dove call. ;-)

@crisw This is true, I actually have seen a few owls around (either an elf or burrowing, i think, been a while), but I meant roosting nearby.

Best guess: morning dove.

I replied and referenced this bird. Sigh, moderation.
