I hear it whereever I lived in socal whether it is simi valley, san fernando valley/ los angeles, fullerton or now costa mesa. But I don't know if it is only indigenous to socal.
The telling descriptive of this bird's call is its timing:
"CooHoo, coo....coo..coo"
Note how I tried to denote its timing of the call with the periods/commas.
It is very soft and subtle. It doesn't chirp or sqwak. You can't hear it in a slightly noisy area. Usually early mornings right at daybreak or after dawn. It is very cute and I am always endeared to this bird whenever I hear it. In my past I would just stay in bed just a few minutes more before I get up to listen to its soft cooing. As I can't hear it anymore when I get ready and bustle around.
Is it a type of owl perhaps? It doesn't just go "Whoo! Whoo!"
It goes CooHoo, coo....coo..coo
With a slightly sharp upward note on the "-Hoo" part.
