The number of audio samples are shown in brackets. Perfectly located within walking distance to the Avalon Beach Kitty Hawk Boat Access, where you can slip your boat, kayak, paddleboard, or jet ski in the. These owls are not particularly vocal but make cooing, warbling, rasping, screeching, clucking, and rattling noises. This is very much a work in progress and only presents a very small segment of my sound library. The list at the right shows the species currently represented on the site. Each sample has a maximum size of 1 MB in MP3 format so on some slow systems they can take a while to load so be patient – there may be a short interval after you press the sound button. More importantly when editing, I don’t alter the intervals between successive phrases – the length of such intervals is as important as the sounds themselves. Where possible, I simply describe the situation - song is usually obvious. I try not to guess when describing the function of each call. If you want a copy you’ll have to record it through your speaker, perfectly good enough for most purposes. I can access the originals in most cases (some of them are on cassettes) but it can be very time consuming and I don’t do it lightly. So they are there for your interest and enjoyment and generally unsuitable for scientific purposes. They have been edited to remove unwanted sounds and sometimes filtered to remove unwanted environmental noise.

I processed the sounds on this website using BIAS Peak and Soundsoap software on a Macintosh computer. I used a number of different Sennheiser microphones over the years until, in recent times, I have been using a Sennheiser Short shotgun microphone K6/ME66 in a Rycote Softee windshield, mainly with Olympus LS-10 digital recorders.

With the advent of cassette tapes I graduated to Sony Walkman WMD6C Professional recorders. I have been recording bird sounds all over Australia since the early 1960’s when I started out with a Uher 4000-S reel to reel recorder.
