Screaming Animal Sounds?

Question

I live at approx 10,000 feet in the Colorado Rocky mountains and for the first time this year have heard sounds in the night (around 11pm - 1am) that closely resemble a human scream. My neighbors and I have thought that it was a mountain lion but when I check the website for the sound - it does not resemble what I'm hearing. Others have said it could be a fox - a vixen during mating season....but mating season is over....any ideas (and I'm sure that it isn't a parrot or a peacock or a screech owl)?

Answer 1

Cats mating
