Hear a bird chirping? It might actually be a mountain lion. The video below is a compilation of trail cam footage showing wild mountain lions (or cougars) making a chirping sound. The sound is believed to be a form of communication with other mountain lions in the area.

Wow, there is a sound one would never attribute to a cougar. If it wasn’t for your trail cam videos I would have thought you were wrong. Good capture for sure ! Thank you

Yikes, now I’ve got another thing to be paranoid about when hiking in the PNW

Wow, what an interesting call, sounds close to so many birds I hear around my yard in SW OH, as my wife feeds them all the time.
