Hi recordists,
Humpback Whales=A0recorded off Maha`ulepu, SE Kaua`i in March 2011. At leas=
t 3
animals singing and uttering elements of their Hawai`i dialect.=A0
Technique--Aquarian Audio H2a-XLR hydrophones, each weighted to prevent
surfacing, suspended bow and stern from a two-man kayak. A drogue (or drag,=
an
empty bucket hanging from stern) keeps the craft aligned with current and w=
ind
to maintain a stereo image. Still got more surface sound than I want, maybe=
I'll
raise the rudder next time.

water.
Aloha,
