I was also very close to the katydid when I recorded him and removed some extraneous noise as well.

I wonder if you lowered the pitch of your woodland meadow katydid recording, because I can hear it fine, but in the field cannot hear the song even when I am only a couple feet away. Also, I was once overly influenced by references to long-spurred mk associations with conifers. I usually find them at woods edges with nothing coniferous in sight. Sometimes I can hear them unaided, but usually need the SongFinder. They are extremely abundant in the second tier of northern Indiana counties, and scattered ones occur north of your latitude in Illinois, so don't give up on them. Thanks for a great post.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
