Observation details
heard non-vocal "winnowing" over loud spring peepers. Heard this winnowing at both Stops #2 and #3, ostensibly from the same WISN, during an AMWO singing ground survey. Coming from a large expanse of open wetland adjacent to the Long Falls Dam Road. www.birdsoftheworld.com explain that this sound is "[p]rimarily an aggressive behavior for territorial defense, but also may act to attract mates. Mostly given by males, but females also Winnow. Used as threat against conspecifics and predators, and may be threat when males direct it at females." Thus, the "T" code
