Erik,
This sounds like a Common Moorhen. They do a variety of muffled clucks like that. best, Michael O'Brien ----- Original Message ----- From: "Erik Johnson" <ejoh...@tigers.lsu.edu> To: "Nocturnal Flight Call ListServe" <NFC-L@cornell.edu> Sent: Tuesday, April 6, 2010 11:52:26 PM GMT -05:00 US/Canada Eastern Subject: [nfc-l] mystery flight call - S Louisiana Hi everyone, I was messing around with a Sennheiser mic directly plugged into my laptop April 4. Recordings were obviously soft without the help of a preamp, but discernible. I was mostly just trying to test my ear against the instant gratification of inspecting the sonogram and comparing to the flight call CD. I recorded this and cannot figure it out. Any thoughts would be appreciated. It was recorded 1.5 hrs after sundown near Lafayette, LA. File is 256kb, wav format. Let me know if the link doesn't work. https://filestogeaux.lsu.edu/public/download.php?FILE=ejohn33/26855CDCduk Thanks, Erik Johnson S Lafayette, LA ejohn33 AT lsu.edu -- NFC-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NFC_WELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NFC_RULES ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/nfc-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/NFCL.html 3) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/NFC-L Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ -- -- NFC-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NFC_WELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NFC_RULES ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/nfc-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/NFCL.html 3) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/NFC-L Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
