Media notes
This is a local flock I have recorded on a few previous occasions. Here they are particularly vocal and produce a variety of calls: typical low-pitched drake calls, female clucks and decrescendos, and at one point about two minutes in, a series of loud quacks also presumably from a female that was somewhere across the pond out of sight. Toward the end they quiet down somewhat. The first two segments are extracted from one recording, and the third segment from another. The third segment is continuous; only extraneous noise (microphone handling, etc.) at the beginning and end has been removed. "Decrescendo" calls at 0:04, 0:36, 1:36, 3:03, 3:25, and 3:42. Normalized to -3 dB except for voice announcement at -10 dB. 24-bit/48 kHz WAV file edited with Ocenaudio. Unfiltered.
