Bertha's Launch Pit Pre-boring

This animal sings to me like this very frequently. The recording was made using my Samsung phone and she was a fair distance away. You will probably need to listen with headphones. A very unusual song. Can you guess what kind of animal sings this song?

Spring Song

This is a female crow that I feed a few peanuts to every weekday at my work. Sometimes she sings this song to me when I come out the car at the end of my shift. I think it's her way of paying me back for all of the peanuts. It was recorded with a Samsung S2 phone so the quality is poor. There was a lot of noise so I cut out just the spectrum that has her song. You are going to need headphones to hear it because it's pretty faint.

Recorded 5/17/2015 using a Sound Devices 702 recorder and Sennheiser MKH 30 + MHK 40 M/S Microphone array.

Marsh Wren

I recorded these frogs on Sunday June 17th at Salishan Lake just south of Lincoln City, Oregon. In the background you can hear the ocean at Gleneden Beach. There is a bit of traffic noise from Highway 101 (Pacific Coast Highway) but it's not too bad. There were a lot of bats around while I was recording this. I was attracting a lot of mosquitos and the bats were swooping close by me getting the mosquitos (I guess). When the mosquitos were the bats moved on. These are Pacific Chorus Treefrogs.

I recorded this snipped on Gleneden Beach on June 16, 2012. This beach is very steep and as a result the waves break only about 20 yards offshore. This makes it ideal for recording because it has moments with crashing waves and moments of stillness in between. This is different from a wide flat beach. Wide flat beaches sound like white noise when recorded and you really can't even tell it's surf.
