Media notes
Male-female duet recorded at a range of about 50 meters. Background noise from a car, dog, and lawn sprinklers is also audible.
Observation details
Two male-female pairs duetting. I heard the usual two west of Stonehill Drive first and recorded them. At about 21:25 I started to hear a pair to the east of Stonehill. The female from the eastern pair has a higher-pitched voice than the female to the west. I got the impression that this might be a territorial announcement by both pairs--it appeared as if the eastern pair approached from some distance before stopping.
