The mic was in an oblong clearing surrounded by "big woods" that are
just starting to leaf out. The big woods was a full canopy with no
understory. This is the type of land that you would expect to find
this Red-headed Woodpecker pair. I can confirm the call of the
Red-headed but can not say that I have confirmed beyond a doubt that
the drumming is the mate. I need to rule out Red-bellied on the
drumming yet. The other main charector is a Chipping Sparrow.
I am a fan of 180 degree barriers for omni's in natural space as the
"Cube" is an evolution of the "Block head". Cardiod mics seem to favor
90 degree patterns for stereo which is an indication of its weakness
in my eye. The strength of the "cube" is that I can pick between two
180 degree pairs and I would have setup the "block-head" 90 degrees
off at this site if I would have used that. The "block-head" is
currently on loan to Curt to use as a comparison in further testing of
his "Wedge".
