Sounds like whatever it is, its seeking another. Almost sounds like a their could be question mark after each scream.

Your so welcomed!

Hi! I’m melanie😊 go out in the evening, before dark around where you heard the screams. And sit. Very boring advice but it has worked for me. They know you are there. You have to build trust. Walking around and searching will just make them hide. When your sitting there, play Native American music. Talk to them. Keep as much out of your hands as possible. Go the same time everyday. Curiosity is a weakness for them. and sit for awhile. At least an hour. when they come in, your going to feel them before you hear them. Their energy is strong. Listen to the birds. They usually start complaining in the area they are. Good luck!

Sorry, my husbands name is popping up, but I’m Melanie, not Tom, lol

Hi Amanda! Great questions. I’m fortunate enough to be able to study a group that resides in my woods in front of my home. For a few years, I go out and listen at night. You can tell the juveniles from adults by their footsteps. I listen to their activity, and pinpoint where they were and what they were doing. The next am I go out and see what has been done. I found, with this group, my juveniles are making the small shield like structures. Often made along the deer trail and along the edge of my woods where they watch me. The adults are the ones pushing over trees, dragging logs, and making the large tree bend. The adults are dragging logs and making large squares with them. I think everything is a play ground for the young ones, as they run everywhere and often make “ woo“ sounds out of excitement. The shields they make have a purpose though. The adults often teach the young to hunt small game, and when those animals are stuck up aa large tree, branches are broken and swung at the prey to get them down. Everything they do and make has a purpose, and even stick breaking is used for communication to me and between themselves. It’s fascinating stuff!
