Do you live in West Milford perhaps?  That is where I am from!
Anyway, the only bird that I can think of is perhaps a screech owl, except
it has a quavering whistle that starts high and ends low.  Sometimes it
sounds like a horse whinny.  I would be interested in knowing what it is,
because I do about 90% of my birding in the Pequannock Watershed.
