Thank you Chris for posting the cut-down. Does anyone like Wood Duck? There are ducks in the area flying around pre-dawn and this morning they sounded similar. I listened to Stokes' and there is a single call that sounds similar (i can't seem to load it though to analyze the sonagram). The ML's wood duck collection shows a wide variety of frequency and types of calls for Wood Duck.
p.s. Black-bellied Plover was selected which is a good match for quality and sonagram. Stokes' recording is a bit higher frequency than my recording. Does frequency change with distance or echo? ML doesn't have much audio for Black-bellied Plover, but what is does have is a fairly similar.
