Good morning! Not expecting much overnight, given the long and heavy rainfall we received (nearly 2ā of rain), after reviewing my night recording I am excited to report that I recorded a night migrating BARN OWL. This bird flew over our house in Etna, calling every 13-16 seconds, over the span of about two minutes from 3:32 to 3:34 this morning.
For those interested, I have uploaded the full 2-minute file sequence to both SoundCloud and to Xeno-Canto. Iām not happy with SoundCloud because you can no-longer play a single track one time ā immediately after a track plays, SoundCloud automatically begins playing another track of music that might be interesting to you. I have also uploaded the sequence to Xeno-Canto, but I was having some problems playing the clip in Safari (it played back fine using Chrome) ā you can also download the file from either Xeno-Canto or SoundCloud and then play the file locally on your computer.
