| Southold, L.I., N.Y., Tanktiyas Hollow near
Hidden Lake, 2/25/03 (49kb). This recording although
scratchy after filtering for wind and the loud roar of waves is a
good illustration of the contact notes between a male Titmouse and
his female that have already paired for spring. The large
family flocks formed in the Fall have split up and the birds have
paired off. The highest notes are the female. The male
sings two notes, three notes, then two again on the same
pitch. He is dueting with another male also traveling with
his mate just ahead of him in the woods. |
