Recorded at 7:52 pm. Woodcock is vocalizing, as is a robin. The robin fell silent on later recordings
Detalles de la observación
(Possibly two)* Singing and calling in the weedy asparagus patch at the end of the checklist as the last daylight faded. Unseen by me despite being only a few meters away at times. When I was farther away I heard only its buzz. When I was close enough I heard the following pattern. After a period of silence the bird sang a soft water-droplet-like four-note pattern (sol-mi-do-sol) (major thirds?) a few times, then elaborated that a bit, before flight (which I did not hear, but is on the recordings), then a long sequence of repeated "whoop-buzz"; a soft "whoop" followed by a louder buzz. (Infrequently the whoop was not followed by a buzz.) This was repeated for well over a minute each time, followed by what I heard as silence, but the recorder picked up as receding flight sound, then silence. Then the song, flight and the whoop-buzz sequence again, often from a slightly different location. Despite looking in the direction of the sound source, I never saw movement in the near darkness. Earlier, from farther away I heard only the buzz. *Possibly two? At one point a recording picks up the soft "water-droplet" song overlapping the whoop-buzz. The loudness of the buzz also increases, though I don't recall having redirected the directional mic, though I may have.
