Media notes
Having seen a shape fly in the moonlight, I tried one snippet of playback of a Whiskered Screech-Owl, and it started singing immediately, flying in closer. It changed its position several times, but continued to call excitedly for more than 7 minutes! Likely a maleThis was just below the former Rucker Canyon Campground, now closed and with vehicle barriers. It was a clear, brightly moonlit evening. Recorded using a Fostex FR-2LE with a Sennheiser ME62 & Telinga Universal 22" parabola.
Observation details
We probably flushed it when we got out of the car; sometime later we started to try playback of Whiskered Screech-Owl, and before the first song was finished, it shot in overhead and started calling (recording).
