Dear group,
Here are two recordings from different locations of an animal making a
scolding chatter sound. Any opinions or guesses regarding species
(and for the insects too) will be greatly appreciated.
The first was recorded June 20 2007 in central Oregon on a desert
plateau above the Crooked River Canyon. I had stopped to sit in the
shade and to test my gear under a juniper tree around noon. Pardon
the passing truck on the highway.
Recording #1 (2:45min, 3.1MB)
http://www.rockscallop.org/test/jh-070620-1200.mp3
Recorded with Sony RH10 HiMD, two AT 3032's, and a homemade Jecklin
Disc style barrier. EQ: slight high-pass to the wind rumble.
The second was recorded September 20 2007 in southern Oregon along the
Illinois River at Store Gulch. The twilight had just given to
darkness, and we were sipping hot toddies in camp beneath the oak
canopy when this visitor stopped by for a few minutes. Pardon the
human murmurs.
Recording #2 (1min, 1.1MB)
http://www.rockscallop.org/test/jh-070920-1945.mp3
Recorded with SD 702, two Rode NT1A's, and my homemade elliptical
wedge style barrier.
and Happy Thanksgiving!
John Hartog
