Hi Rich, how are you?. Thanks a lof for sending us the arial display of the
Common Snipe. That sound sounds very interesting and i understand is done
with the wind and external feathers of tail. I always had wanted to get a
copy of that sound. In my bioacustic training course I talk to my students
about the communications ways in birds. Sounds emitted throuhg the syrinx
and mechanical sounds. Rich, could i used that aerial display in my course?=

Asunto: [Nature Recordists] spring in MN
Our spring arrived and we set record highs yesterday at 90 degrees
with no leaves on the trees and less than a week from loss of frost
line. First time ever in MN that I found a 4 frog pond because of the
weather.
Wood frogs should peak here during Easter weekend but are strong
now. I spent 2 hours yesterday getting close to a small raft of
ducks. I did it without my camo as it was too hot and with time they
slowly just got use to me and let me approach. I can't imagine how
Greg uses his guilles suit in the desert.
So much for local news. And for the current for fun temp. attachment
is a 135kb download of the dusk arial display of the Common Snipe
recorded in high winds without my prairie windscreen. I hate it when
I leave the wrong pieces in the van.
