About the Location: This recording was taken on a shady bench under a tree just in front of the Denison library and next to the Bowling Green Lawn on Scripps College campus.
About the soundscape: There was minimal foot traffic in this area and the only noises were the rumble of a plane flying overhead, some quiet conversations, and muffled movements of us adjusting on the bench (these parts weren’t included in this uploaded recording).
Identification: Using the Merlin app created by Cornell Lab, we identified the bird call to be a Black Phoebe, or
Sayornis nigricans.
Recording Equipment: For this recording, we utilized the Tascam dr-40x microphone with the boom placed over the diaphrams and the Merlin app to identify the birds. Only the recording taken from the microphone is uploaded here
