Class, Amphiba: Tetrapod with moist, scaleless skin.
Subclass, Lissamphibia: Extant amphibian.
Order, Urodela: Elongated body and tail.
Family, Sirenidae: Small forelimbs, costal grooves, and it presumably had external gills which were most likely eaten.

Merlin suggests grey hawk, but this particular call doesn’t seem a perfect match. I was able to find similar calls from that species on YouTube.

This guy wasn’t more than a foot long, found in the warehouse in the donation pile- needless to say he was glad to get out of there :)

For whatever reason I've always looked at these beams and thought that they looked perfect for tricolors, but up until now there's only been a glass lizard and frogs. I hadn't found anything to photograph today so I went out to find the glass lizard and found this gem actually tucked up in a crack in the beam. It rained yesterday, but given that the lowest temperature today was 75 and it was 80 when I flipped this dude I'm still pretty surprised.
