Screaming or howling in Humboldt County, California

We heard loud, prolonged screams every morning between 8/11/2007 and 8/18/2007. The screams sounded like some kind of unknown, wild animal but with some added enunciation and vowel sounds that were very human like. The scream had an "O" sound in the middle and ended with a definite "R" sound.

What stood out: screaming or howling
