Hi fellas and gals,
Last night, while recording Pacific tree frogs, this happened (look
for "unidentified sound.mp3") in the audio file listings. Martyn
thinks I'm pulling some frog legs. But actually, we've heard this
sucker over the period of a couple of evenings, now. This one occurred
at around 8:20P when there was still a bit of light left. We live in a
hilly oak chaparral habitat at about 125m (415 ft). The weather was in
the high 50s F (about 15C). It was recorded with a 722 and MKH30/40
and is part of a larger clip (where I was looking at the ways in which
five frogs that live in close proximity to each other temporally
partition their voices to successfully vocalize).
Mountain lions have been seen in and around where we live recently.
And the thought occurred to me it might be a lion alarm scream of some
kind.
Any thoughts would be most helpful.
