Here's one for you. What bird makes a loud cricket-type call?

Heard it a couple of times but can't find the bird.

Thanks!

The Blackbirds can do that. So can the Grackles...I had one hanging around one summer that could imitate the squeaky clothes line sound.

I've checked both calls on the cornell site. Possibly a grackle, but not sure. I'll look next time I hear it.
