Description

Had to heavily edit the audio (low and high-pass filters/raising gain) and even then still hard to hear. I can hear it with over-the-ear headphones though! The call is audible three times throughout the recording, with the loudest coming around 9 seconds.

Did some night walking blacklighting at AD Barnes Park. I had permission to spend the night here to keep an eye on tents set up for Native Plant Day. This is an annual event organized by the Dade Chapter of the Florida Native Plant Society. You can read more about it here: https://dade.fnpschapters.org/data/uploads/documents/npd2024program.pdf

I was a bit unprepared for blacklighting as I wasn't sure if I was going to be able to. I only had 3 UV blacklights powered by USB battery packs and moved them around between midnight and around 5:30AM when I left. This observation was from walking around and not associated with blacklighting.

You can learn more about the lights I used and my typical, simple & affordable setups here: https://youtu.be/tavmTa7WoPk

Conditions: Negligible wind, moon illumination 37%, set around 1:30AM, temp around 70

Presumably attracted to building lights

Did some night walking blacklighting at AD Barnes Park. I had permission to spend the night here to keep an eye on tents set up for Native Plant Day. This is an annual event organized by the Dade Chapter of the Florida Native Plant Society. You can read more about it here: https://dade.fnpschapters.org/data/uploads/documents/npd2024program.pdf
& here is the Dade Chapter's website:

I was a bit unprepared for blacklighting as I wasn't sure if I was going to be able to. I only had 3 UV blacklights powered by USB battery packs and moved them around between midnight and around 5:30AM when I left. This observation was from walking around and not associated with blacklighting.

You can learn more about the lights I used and my typical, simple & affordable setups here: https://youtu.be/tavmTa7WoPk

Conditions: Negligible wind, moon illumination 37%, set around 1:30AM, temp around 70

Presumably attracted to building lights

Did some night walking blacklighting at AD Barnes Park. I had permission to spend the night here to keep an eye on tents set up for Native Plant Day. This is an annual event organized by the Dade Chapter of the Florida Native Plant Society. You can read more about it here: https://dade.fnpschapters.org/data/uploads/documents/npd2024program.pdf

I was a bit unprepared for blacklighting as I wasn't sure if I was going to be able to. I only had 3 UV blacklights powered by USB battery packs and moved them around between midnight and around 5:30AM when I left. This observation was from walking around and not associated with blacklighting.

You can learn more about the lights I used and my typical, simple & affordable setups here: https://youtu.be/tavmTa7WoPk

Conditions: Negligible wind, moon illumination 37%, set around 1:30AM, temp around 70
