I have tried to listen to this file, but in vain.  I am owner or moderator =
of quite a few Yahoo groups dealing with other subjects, already have an ac=
count (have had for years), still Yahoo made me sign up again and create a =
new account, wanted to force me to make the new Yahoo my default search eng=
ine (no thanks, I=92m doing quite well with the ones I have!) and even afte=
r creating a new Yahoo account I cannot access the file.  What gives?



FWIW I am a Ph.D. biologist, ethologist and field naturalist, have worked o=
r traveled in the U.S., several European countries, West Africa, the Middle=
 East, Arabia and Australia, not a =93nature recordist=94 specifically but =
not completely ignorant either . . .



Thanks,



John

I have no idea what this creature (?) is. Essential data: location, Statesb=
oro, GA, from wetland (presumably, it was behind a residence, so I couldn't=
 get too close); date and time, June 17, 2016, 10:45pm; many chorus frogs c=
alling from same direction, also many tree crickets and some true katydids.=
 We received heavy rains earlier in the day. The first half of this brief c=
lip is untouched (captured with a Rode Videomic pro connected to a Zoom H5)=
, the second half was brutally processed to remove noise in Audition.

This doesn't sound like any anuran, insect, or bird with which I'm familiar=
; I was beginning to wonder if it was even living (perhaps some sort of ala=
rm), except that the tempo showed some variability, including the occasiona=
l longer "predator detection" silence.

Does this sound familiar to anyone?

Thanks!

Alan
