The CAQU was approved this morning. I wanted to share out the enhanced recording so others could hear it. An expert birding friend made the enhanced recording. There are two recordings - one of the single call which I have in my recording but improved, and one where the improved single recorded call is repeated 5 times so you get a better sense of it.
