Song Phrase 1
Song Phrase 1, Lake Co., OR, 06/28/2005 Frequency just below 6 kHz, good enough for COFL.
Song Phrase 2
Song Phrase 2, Lake Co., OR, 06/28/2005 Very interesting transitional form with NO SILENT BREAK. Tick and maximum frequency are a shade high for COFL. Top almost pointed = intermediate. Overall shape is intermediate between PSFL and the smooth unbroken COFL standard from the Southern Rocky Mountains. Lack of break tips the scale toward COFL.
Song Phrase 3
Song Phrase 3, Lake Co., OR, 06/28/2005 COFL-like intermediate. Frequency barely above COFL standards. Middle note is rather faint for COFL, but it is still louder than the tick.
Male Position Note
Male Position Note, Lake Co., OR, 06/28/2005 Close to COFL, the absence of a break being the main deficiency. Sounds very similar to some of the COFL standards.
Female Position Note
