Your TBD audio sounds very familiar, but I can’t place it. Consider asking Denise to offer an opinion?
We saw Denise last Saturday; she had no idea. Unlikely, but I’ll try comparing with SSHA spectrographs on xeno-canto. That possibility is based simply on the bird flying around in a circle in the Cypress grove at various elevations. I was looking for SSHA. So it must have been one of course. 10 minutes or more. I never saw a thing. Very frustrating.
