Media notes

Sony PCM-M10 (S) from 6 min 40 sec to 10 min in order to view the spectrogram. The spectrograms stop after 4 min in the 10 min recording.

Observation details

Minimum. See recordings. Spectrograms of the 10 min recordings stop after 4 min. Extracts of the Sony PCM-M10 10 min recording (from 3 min to 6 min 40 sec and from 6 min 40 sec to 10 min) were submitted as the 9th and 10th media files. I was positioned where the main trail meets the powerline cut (S). Heard at least 3 calling from the NEMT forest (west side of the powerline, south of the certified vernal pool and east of June Circle). At the beginning of the 10 min Sony PCM-M10 recording, I was recording at least two EWPW calling from the east side of the powerline cut. At least 4 birds were also flying in the powerline cut and some may not have been vocalizing (those were not counted). After the jet flew over, the EWPW closer to us in the NEMT forest began vocalizing and I directed the parabolic microphone to the west (into the NEMT forest). The last EWPW in the 10 min Sony PCM-M10 recording was very close by, singing from a tree in the NEMT forest edge habitat. The others were deeper in the forest, southwest of my position. There may be more than 3 territories in the NEMT forest if the two additional remote recorders south of where I was recording picked up different birds, which appears to be the case.
