Elizabeth, thanks for your confirmation - I was hoping that someone from the US or Canada would verify or otherwise.
As far as getting closer to the GN is concerned I was right on the shoreline, without relaunching my dinghy (now out of the water for the winter) I couldn't get any closer! Also there has been a lot of noise from jetty rebuilding, I was surprised that the bird came even that close.
I have heard the call, albeit via a website, and agree that it is one of the most haunting sounds, even eerie.
