| Description |
Vocalization of a Richardson Ground Squirrel |
| Note |
Sub-section of repeated whistles issued by Adult Female Cross T (member of Richardsons ground squirrel research population at Winnipeg Manitobas Assiniboine Park Zoo) at 0858 CDT on 15 June 2008 with the caller facing the seated researcher and recording equipment from a distance of only 1.5 m to the southwest. Temperature 15.7 C, Average Wind Speed 2.0 kph out of the northwest, Relative Humidity 48%. Equipment: a tripod-mounted Audio Technica AT-815b shotgun condenser microphone, connected via a Tascam US-122L A/D interface to a Getac M220 Laptop running Avisofts Recorder Software. Files were recorded at a 48 kHz sampling rate, and 16-bit sampling depth, though ultimately these were converted on SASLabPro to a 44.1 kHz sampling rate, and then converted to MP3 files using iTunes 9.2. |
