We did not see this male grouse. We did see a female, but were
unable to find the male who was singing from up the slope behind
vegetation and terrain. The sound was captured by Drew using his
telenga. The song was barely audible on the file, so we amplified it
and used noise reduction to make it discernable. We used a control
(song on original file) to be sure the result sounded the same (to our
ears). We believe this is a Sooty Grouse, but we are not absolutely
certain. The song is slightly different from the male at Paradise. |
