here's a recording of the same kind of whistling I'm hearing outside: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j90-DDYo7JE
okay now I can hear the Cooper's hawk fledglings whistling from my apartment. they are VERY VERY EXCITE XD
and it occurred to me as I was walking past them that they are very likely exactly why the crow family doesn't hang out here any more--and they may be responsible for the loss of the one crow fledgling. that's nature for ya...

oh. the fact that it's already half a million degrees outside might have something to do with my state of ungruntledness. bah. need to go to store today, specifically for canned cat food, which I'm not sure will otherwise last until I can get it Thursday, since tomorrow is my volunteering day. *sigh*
and if I'm gonna do that I should probably start doing it sooner than later because it's only going to get more miserable the longer I wait. :P

also got replacement/supplemental green hair dye, which I'll be messing with probably this week, because I need my green back dammit, and that "arctic fox" stuff wasn't hacking it. :P
got a lot accomplished today--not everything I'd intended, but most of it.
also positively identified the hawks out in the forest as Cooper's hawks, three of them! they were doing the whistling juvenile call that first got my attention, then one of them did--a juvenile imitation of an adult call, which I recognized. when I used my birding app to play the adult Cooper's hawk call back at them they all got VERY EXCITE and there was much rustling and whistling. I was grinning like a loon. :D
