Last night, I recorded again, knowing it wouldn't be very good (and likewise,
wouldn't take as long to browse through...). Well, I just finished. I recorded
from 21:56-05:32 (dawn chorus started around 05:05).
Really neat stuff, although, few things. These are the highlights of the
identifiables:
5 Veery
4 BLACK-BILLED CUCKOOS! (at 23:47, 24:10, 03:54, and 04:23) ("kruk-uk-uk...uk"
calls)
2 American Redstart
2 Wood Thrush
1 Swainson's Thrush
1 Bobolink
1 VIRGINIA RAIL "kek-kek....kek-kek" notes (22:48)
1 Yellow Warbler (song at 23:18)
1 Common Yellowthroat (song at 23:49)
1 Solitary Sandpiper (04:38)
1 SORA "kur-wee...kur-wee...repeated, doppler-effect clear as the bird called
distant from the recorder, got louder as it passed nearly right overhead, then
got softer again, *very* cool! This was over about 60 seconds from 03:57 to
03:58)
We have some nearby tiny marshy areas, but not close enough to warrant lots of
flyover Virginia Rails or Soras, nor distant callers being picked up on this
recorder (if so, I'd expect them to be much a much more common sound at a fixed
distance and with that ground vegetative echo quality to the sounds).
Good night listening!
Sincerely,
Chris T-H
