FINALLY!! AFTER ALL THIS TIME, I NOW KNOW WHAT BIRD MADE THAT SOUND!!!


Is it okay if I use this video for an experiment on what birds sound like slowed down?

[jaredmk]

it's crazy how a small bird have a big call.

This chirp is on par with sound of the seismic charge bomb in Star Wars for my favorite sounds

[Unotuchable]

You hear them all the time when you head into national parks and the like but I have never actually seen one before. You don't even know how close or far away it is because of how the call carries.

I remember as a backpacker picking capsicums, making fuck all money, and hearing this thing go off in the forest. Sounded like Predator was in the trees.
Amazing sound. Is so much louder in real life. Reminds me now of those 80's electro zaps

Are the two short stills after the whip sound the same bird or a response from a different bird

[SHhhhhhhnatureischatting]

So is the last two sounds still the male or is it the female responding
