Media notes

Without doubt the same bird recorded two weeks earlier (see ML424562291). Recorded in the same spot, and it sings incessantly. This is taken from five cuts of the bird recorded on 18 Mar 2022. I count at least seven song patterns and occasional variants of same. Normalized to -3 dB except for voice announcement at -10 dB. 24-bit/48 kHz WAV file edited with Ocenaudio. Unfiltered.
