Media notes
Very good quality of single bout of whinny vocalization from close proximity. I feel like it's not a long enough recording to be given all five of those sweet, sweet stars.
Observation details
Possibly the same bird Christopher Gangemi heard at this location two weeks prior, however given how numerous this bird is in cattail marshes north of us, it is very possible that it is a second migrant. Good habitat exists on site for breeding potential but probably far more likely to be a migrant bird as Sora has not been confirmed to breed on Long Island in some time. The bird gave from close range a typical descending, whinny call; both high pitched and staccato in timbre. I got a fairly good recording which will be uploaded at some point. County bird for me.
