Sounds

[re-posted for Condor08] Can anyone explain why the sounds received on my cell phone does not sound like the sounds transmitted from the other cell phone monitor at the test site? (This is our Owl monitor)

I have not posted for weeks! Barred owls call here nearly every night. Sometimes we hear calls early in the evening - and even before dark - and more often a first scream wakes us long after human noises cease for the night. And then we listen to typical barred owl calls until we fall asleep again. Maine Summer Nightbird Survey is now in progress. We plan to survey evening of 18 JUNE if sky is bright with full moon and weather is otherwise suitable. More later when we have surveyed.

Hi everybody

Recent evenings and early mornings between 2130 and 0100 hours barred owls have called back and forth from our woodlot. One owl has a very distinctive opening hoot. Perhaps it learned to call from a chicken, for a harsh 'cock a doo' like a rooster crow is the nature of its first three syllables with more typical barred owl hoots to finish each call.
