Vocalizations from the Ortiz Mountains

Recordings made from 2 miles + with large parabolic microphone mounted 20′ off the ground to a mobile filed research laboratory. Focused in a heavily wooded rugged canyon around the 8,000′ level of the North face of the Ortiz Mountains. We have had a BF here at home base messing with water and the horse barn. A sonic survey was implemented of the near mountain in April. Many anomalous recordings were made. This is a 10 minute clip of the over 3 hour recording made on the night of May-5-2012. This clip starts 10 minutes into the recording and is of a 10 minute duration. A second mic was positioned on the base of the mountain and has yet to be evaluated at this time. It was run several hours earlier in the evening. Much more was recorded on this run and will be posted at a later date.

    OK, our rat terrier, Otis, just freaked out. He’s not paid a bunch of attention in the past, just peaked his ears. This time, he jumped up, ran over to the UE Boom, lifted his head like a coyote and howled, loud and long. Never known him to do that before, didn’t know he could. I’ve got to get the Border Collies in here, see how they react.

    The modulation and quality of the recording makes it extremely difficult to identify any of the sounds. I would be interested in hearing the raw audio file.
