Please tell us where your mystery sound was recorded. Sound oriole-like.

I have just changed the options on our group to allow attachment of sound
files to group messages. If any of you objects strongly to this, please let
us know. I'm doing this to encourage more and easier interchange of actual
sounds. The new policy is:
"Sound files may be attached to postings, as long as they remain under
200K. No other attachments will be allowed. Members are encouraged to
discuss unknown or unidentified sounds they have recorded and to post sound
files and to post sounds to the group so that other members can hear them.
The moderator has supplied a web site, which can be found on the "Links"
page, to which members may post sounds larger than 200K for the benefit of
the group."
Note that 200K is pretty generous using appropriate MP3 compressions, and
if it becomes a problem, we may go down to 100K.
Attachments are deleted from the Yahoo archives after about a week, so if
you hear something you want to save, you'll need to save it on your system.
I am attaching a sound to this message as a trial. This is a "mystery"
sound - I know what it is, but I'd like to get your impressions. I doubt
you'll be able to ID it, but at least guess the family of birds it's from.
The answer will surprise you!

Subject: New Sennheiser mic test
Greetings folks,
Soon, we will be field testing one of Sennheiser's new M-S mic
systems for the factory, the MKH 148S, throughout the coming spring
and early summer months. Using combos of new technologies, this
relatively new mic offers many advantages over other systems. Reduced
to one convenient mike tube, the Mid component consists of a highly
sensitive super-cardioid pattern (for directionality), and the Side
component is likewise highly sensitive with both components being
extremely noise-free and humidity resistant. This model slightly
exceeds the specs of most other Sennheiser MKH systems, a claim which
we find sort of amazing. The factory specs the new mic out (flat) at
40Hz - 20kHz. At $1600USD, it ain't cheap, but hell, we only live
once.
I'll keep you posted on what we find.
