Recordist's notes

Blakiston's fish owl ... three birds present ... the calls are a duet ... male 1 3 ... female 2 4 ... or male 1 2 ... female 3 4 ... at 05:10 one bird flies off and the separate parts of the duet can be heard ... extremely cold and frequent snow showers ... Teling ProDAT 5 to Sony Minidisk ... just so fortunate to record any of this ...
