Media notes
NOTES: Includes 440Hz calibration tone. Notes from reel box: "On Kingfisher Bank, V.I. Bank 9 Feb 1974. Two calling animals, their sound levels appear to be very much the same. Note: Check out possibility of one of these two animals as being the same one as on reel #1. By blows, distance 1/2 mile. See two different blows (animals) now! Both making sounds. At least one full call, maybe two. 2-3 breaches near reel end. blow-sound correlation." Voice announcements (e.g., blow, breach) on right channel. [MLNS notes: toward second quarter of recording sounds like more than two singers. After that, there's a nice section with a very raspy-sounding individual 14Nov2003 CB]. SEAOCEAN.
