| Question about Pets:What bird makes a moaning sound like a woman crying? |
As the others have said, it could be a Mourning Dove or a Common Loon. Common Loons are in fact found in Louisiana, more commonly closer to the coast and in the WINTER. Yes, Loons love cold water. To some people, their call is a cry, and to others it is a laugh, howl, or yodel.
Mourning Doves on the other hand, are anywhere in the U.S. - yearound. Their call sounds sorta like a "whooooooOOOOO hooo hoooo hooo" in my opinion. Once you hear the call of a Mourning Dove, it is hard to mistake it for something else. I usually hear them in the mornings and late evenings too around here. Based on what you described, it is more than likely a dove, considering a Loon's call is sometimes described as a laugh - which doesn't sound very lonely to me.
Here are some audio clips of each one's call to see which is what you heard.

Well, I hoped that helped you ^_^
