Back about a month ago if my memory serves me correctly, someone (Mark?)
had a recording of wolf or coyote pups they were hoping to identify. As I=
recall, we all agreed they were wolf sounds in his recording.
Monday, August 2nd at 1:30-2:00AM in the wee early hours of the morning, I=
happened to catch our local Coyote pack in full song in the tree farm and
have finally managed to get a decent recording. I think this recording in=
comparison affirms the wolf conclusion to his recording.
As this recording starts, there is about a 27 second delay of tree frogs
and pond frogs until what I presume is the alpha female coyote of the pack=
puts out a call. this is followed by a 35-40 second delay, and she calls
again and almost immediately a second voice joins hers and for nearly a
minute, all the rest of the pack as well as a few coyotes in the distance
joins in.
The recording is in stereo, you can get a feel of distance and direction to=
some of the further out coyotes combined with the sound of the frogs make
this a very unique recording I think...
This recording was made with a Tascam Dr680 recorder and a pair of
Sennheiser ME66 microphones which were pointed in the general direction of=
the Cape Cod Academy buildings about 1/4 mile beyond my location, the
coyotes were between my location and the Academy with its air conditioners=
roaring...
Therefore I have run this audio through a 450hz highpass filter to get rid=
of most of the air conditioner noise however as the coyote sounds start at=
about 500 hz and go up in frequency, there is still a bit of the air
conditioner droning bleeding through at the bottom end of the frequencies
of this recording.
