Screaming or howling in Bay County, Florida

My family and I took a boat ride to the Shell Island Beach (it wasn't really an island, it eventually connected to the mainland). When we anchored I got out and proceeded into the forest farther in. As I began to approach the forest I heard a high pitched scream that I mistook as a bird at first, I then saw a large brown mass moving to my right in the trees in front of me. I saw it for no more than a second as I turned around an ran back to the beach.

What stood out: screaming or howling
