so I used Audacity to do minor start/end editing & to "normalize" the recording I had made the night of June 27 with Merlin. Sorry, still some annoying if scattered background noise, and all the silence in-between call series (which occur at 01"-06", 09"-10", 22"-24",
36"-42", 56"-1'02",
1'47"-2'04",
2'12"-2'16",
2'52"-3'04", and 3'42"-3'52"). The better series are in red.
Not like any juvenile GHOW I've heard previously, but what else could it be? Not a mule deer or its fawn, or a dog, or any other owl (or nightjar) I know of. No adult GHOW were calling here that night, tho they often are.
Thanks for your input.
