Media notes
2-3. Resident birds regularly call 40-45 before sunrise and after sunset. This call/song is 42 minutes after official sunset. Recording trimmed and then normalized to -3 in Audacity. Same recording as the un-normalized ML614219091. (Experiment given 32 bit float. I have been normalizing most recordings to -3, which seems to amplify background noise without necessarily making the bird song/call clearer.)
Observation details
Having noticed that the resident Kookaburras call loudly about 45 minutes before sunrise and after sunset, I went outside to record. They were on time... sunset at 8:33. Calls at 9:14 and 9:17. At least two, possibly three.
