Name that bird

[mill929]

Does anyone know what kind of bird sounds like a crying dog? I hear them all the time at the ranch but never seen one and now one is living in my back yard. Hear him all day long but never see him.

Flacon maybe.

Roadrunner?

Was nilgai hunting not too long ago and sounded like a pup was whimpering under my blind and saw a roadrunner doing the call

first time my brother noticed it he went walking through the brush for about an hour looking for a hurt or lost dog. He finally realized it was a bird when everytime he would get close he would hear it fly off and start making the noise again.

Road runner. They sit on a mound of dirt to one side of my welding shop and do it all the time.

The strategy sounds like a killdeer. But a killdeer doesn't sound like a whining dog to me though?
