Re: [nfc-l] Unknown call over suburban Pittsburgh, Sept. 17

2013-09-19 Thread Geoff Malosh 
Hi Chris, I'm sure you're right. I had considered grosbeak but it just struck 
me as sounding too low in tone (especially hearing it in life) compared to what 
I usually hear from rose-breasted grosbeak, and that sent me looking for other 
possibilities. I was probably just thinking too hard. . . wouldn't be the first 
time.

Thanks,
Geoff

Geoff,

Gut feel is Rose-breated Grosbeak. What do you think?

Sincerely,
Chris T-H

Hello,

I heard and recorded the attached audio in suburban Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 
about an hour before dawn on Sept. 17. An 11-second clip is attached in which 
the unidentified call can be heard at about 2 sec and 9 sec. I recall hearing 
it six times, five of which were picked up on recordings. The attached 
spectrogram shows the first of the two calls in the wav file.

I’m having some trouble placing an ID on this one... I have a few ideas 
(shorebirds) but any input would be appreciated.

Best regards,
Geoff Malosh
