Hi all, I created a=A0folder of several files=A0on the Naturerecording=A0 (=
that's -ING) site, of more sounds from Lehua Islet--

"Lehua sea cave" is the one I posted last week, with Black Noddies, very de=
ep pneumatic sounds from inside the cave, and thunder, the only evidence of=
Hurricane Felicia. The lightning strike was about two miles directly offsh=
ore, so it reverbed in the cave nicely. The .jpg photo is yours truly hard =
at work.
"Lehua Blowhole" is a small gentle would-be blowhole outside the sea cave. =
The "mouth" is not much bigger than a human's, inhaling and exhaling much t=
o my amusement.
"RFBO Lehua" is a colony of Red-footed Boobies in the evening as the adults=
return from foraging at sea; Also heard are Wedge-tailed Shearwaters.
"WTSH short" is a colony of Wedgetailed Shearwaters at night at our camp. T=
he low voice is the female, the higher is the male. This goes on all night,=
but=A0not too disturbing until the night I mistakenly slept in a hammock t=
wo feet from a nester.
I'll leave this folder intact for a couple weeks, then remove to make room.

I had a great time out there, mostly recording at night. I'll return next M=
ay to record other species' colonies (Laysan and Black-foot Albatross, and =
several Endangered Species, etc.) Each evening I listened with Telinga for =
incoming unseen birds, with some very interesting success. On one night of =
light winds I listened from camp, facing the mountain-side, while two ornit=
hologist colleagues tramped around on the crater.=A0 I would shine a laser =
in the direction of heard Band-rumped Storm-Petrel calls, they would confir=
m the heard sound and head in that direction. The active nest of this speci=
es has never been observed in Hawai`i, hence our willingness to expend such=
energy.

Again, headphones recommended.

Aloha,
