Jay's suggestion is a good one, when possible given how folks are making
recordings. One note to Ken and others: I almost always listen to NFCs at
quarter speed, with a filter on so that I only hear the frequency range of the
call (and not the low frequency stuff that would blast my ears at quarter
speed). I can hear the calls a full speed, but I can't differentiate them very
well full speed. Slowing them down makes the distinctions clearer.

Thank you Jay. I cannot hear most of the clips posted here. This is apparently
a "thing" where some people can hear the bird sounds in these short clips and
others cannot. I just hear a burst of static. Please put enough ambient sound
on BOTH sides of the bird sound for our ears to hear the sound in its proper
context.
Thanks

Hey all,I've posted this before, but I would implore folks posting example
recordings to this list to leave a few seconds of sound before and after the
call in question so you can actually hear it. With only a second-long
recording, all I hear is a burst of sound with no time for my ear to acclimate
to the background noise. The same goes for audio upload to eBird. We suggest
leaving three seconds, if possible, before the first and after the last
vocalization in the recording before upload.
Thanks!

Thank you very much for responding. Here is another example. I think lesser
yellowlegs could be an option. Thoughts? From,
