In addition to all the immigrants that I targeted, I spent a good amount of time on some of the native species of Florida as well.\u00a0 My target list here was much more refined, mostly hard to record species and rare vocalizations, and so my success rate was a bit lower.\u00a0 But by the time my trip was over I still managed to get a nice collection of cool recordings, with a nice smattering of rare ones thrown in:<\/p>\n
Mottled Duck is a surprisingly rarely recorded species.\u00a0 Maybe that’s because it’s just a glorified Mallard – or maybe the opposite of glorified, being less colorful.\u00a0 Or maybe it’s because it can be hard to find pure birds anymore in places most people bird.\u00a0 Whatever the case, it was a major goal of mine to get some recordings from them, and I did from both hybrids and apparently pure birds:<\/p>\n
