recordings of bird calls

Mark, I’d suggest that the likely cause if that your phone is not capable of producing the deeper notes produced by the Wonga, earbuds or the phone speaker generally don’t have great bass response. As I recall the Wonga has a rather deep bass call. regards, Chris Ross Hi Yesterday I visited Buderroo NP early in the morning. I heard a bird call that I then checked against the calls I had on my phone. The call exactly matched the call of a Wonga pigeon in terms of notes sung and duration of the call ( the call I listened to was from a cd by Dave Stewart). I noted at the time that the call that that the recording of the pigeon seemed to be a bit higher than the call of the bird, which seemed a bit lower. At the time I put this down to the recording, but I wonder if I did hear the Wonga pigeon, or another bird mimicking it? They were plenty of lyrebirds in the area at the time, which may have also made that call. When a lyrebird mimics another birds call, is it exactly the same, or slightly different? Is there anyway to tell if the call you hear was made by the species that should make it, or it’s being mimicked? =============================== To unsubscribe from this mailing list, send the message: unsubscribe (in the body of the message, with no Subject line) to: birding-aus-request@vicnet.net.au http://birding-aus.org ===============================
