I live about 20 miles from where you camped and some of the bobcats in the area make that kind of noise. There are cougars in the vicinity, too, but they sound deeper and make longer sounds. I wouldn't describe their sound as a screech, but you got to hear more of the sounds than you were able to record. Stay safe on the remaining part of your trip!
At the time, we were thinking cougar. I've listened to a bunch of sounds since getting home and trying to figure out more accurately what it was. I'd say you are correct that it was probably a Bobcat.
I believe you could be correct. Of course, when you're out there, every weird noise you've never heard sounds like the scariest thing you can think of 😂
So much for that good night’s sleep… glad you’re safe.

Awesome thanks 🙏
Thank you for watching!
I think your assumption is correct. It was only a short sound but I think it was a cougar. 😱
I’ve heard foxes make noise like that. Don’t think a cougar would be in the desert. Their primary food source is deer not snakes and rodents.
