Media notes
NOTES: Chip! and phweet calls. Announcement: 1.21. Background: glaucous gulls being chased by a tern. [This recording contains at least two types of calls, the flight-call (a sharp "pit") of BNA and what appears to be a male alarm call ("choo-eet"). Flight calls are given at 0:13 (BEST example), 1:54 and 1:57 (also a relatively good series); alarm calls are given at 0:19, 0:23, 0:285, 0:355, 0:38, 0:405, 0:43, 0:56, 1:045, 1:125, 1:255, 1:305, 1:39, 1:46, 1:50, and 2:05 (the BEST set at 0:38-0:44). I am less certain about the soft "pip" calls given at 1:34, 1:36 (two), and 1:405, but they appear to be given by the same bird [??] Quality 2-3, 2 - CAM - 18 February 2005].
