In the series he says: I am the arm and i sound like this. and he's oh-ing with his hand flapping at his mouth. Isn't that the same sound you hear when you see the shots of the electricity-poles during the first half hour of the movie? Are the spirits travelling through the wires or something?
shareTo your first question, yes.

In the movie, Lynch seems to replace owls with electricity as the mode of transportation from the spirit world to the physical. I suppose this could be for any number of reasons - but it strikes me that electricity is more fluid, harder-to-pin-down, and more intertwined with the human world than owls. In general, Fire Walk With Me makes the supernatural seen less "out-there" than "in-here" so that move makes sense.
Btw, the little man does the Indian war cry in the film, not the series (same with the "Arm" comment).

And in Lynch's work in general: Eraserhead, Blue Velvet... It feels like the director recapturing the Twin Peaks mythology in a way and bringing it back into his world of references.

I think it kind of portrays the outreach capability of the Black Lodge denizens that there's more than one way to enter, transmit, and observe the mortal world. It also shows off that there's not only the Glastonbury Grove entrance but several back doors as well spread out all over the world.
shareIt seems to me that for the most part the MFAP is using electricity while Bob prefers the Owls; but I don't think the traveling methods are exclusive to each of them. I guess it's like deciding to use the Ford instead of the Prius in the morning.

His whooping noise also blends in excellently with the generally dissonant soundscapes of the Deer Meadows sequence.
