Hi Jim,
Mics about 50 feet back from the edge of a lake. Verry slight breeze.
No running water, but lapping lake ripples on fine, silty muck. Arid
environment: this lake likely dries into an alkali flat during drier
years. The lake is irregular shaped about a quarter mile across and
half a mile wide and may be interconnected with other nearby lakes -
and surrounded by dunes 10 to 20 feet high of powdery white dust held
in place by grasses and sage.
I think I hear a bullfrog, but other than that your guess is better
than mine on the callers.
What do think makes the shrieks that seem to get louder with the
coyote chorus?
