Hi everybody!
My wife and me we lucky to have a rather short, but wonderful vacation
in Florida the week before last week.
I made some recordings, relying on what I just found wherever we stayed.
I got a few decent recordings.
Among my recordings there is one I particularly love, even though it is
not optimal.
I recorded at Merritt Island. Around 8.15 pm, just minutes before I had
to finish (because the ranger kindly told me so), there were these
amazing sounds in the far distance.
I was in an oak hammock habitat north of State Hwy 402 a couple of
hundred feet from a marsh area.
The sounds in question are between 600 and 1100 Hz.
It sounds so melodic, I have to find out what it is.
Could be mating calls of some sort with call and response, maybe owls.
Being European I have no real clue about American species, sorry!
By the way the rustling was not me, it must have been some local
wildlife in the saw palmettos. :-)
Here is a spectrogram:

*I would be very thankful if someone could identify the species.
Thank you in advance
Cheers
