Media notes
Unseen pair of birds flying past, west to east (typical this time of the morning). I was still recording the Mallard when they got close so the recording was hurried (and late). Note how much quieter the Mallard was when I wasn't pointing the microphone at it
Observation details
Pair of heard only birds. Calls varied more than Chihuahuans tend to. Has become a regular visitor, at least in the winter months, almost always flying by from the west.
