Media notes

Interesting whisper song. Saw the bird above me, about 10 feet away, constantly whispering while perched still for about 4 minutes, including about 30 seconds before I started the recording. The bird pooped and stopped most of the song at the same time (you can hear the poop hit the leaf litter at 00:03:34), unsure if related... Another Robin flew in and chased this bird away. Recorded in Merlin on Android, edited in Audacity: High-pass filter to 150hz, 12dB roll-off, and normalized volume to -3dB.
