Sound recordings of courtship displays of Allen's (Selasphorus sasin), Rufous (S. rufus), and Hybrid (S. sasin x S. rufus) hummingbirds recorded between 2014 and 2021 in California, Oregon, and Alaska
These are sound recordings of courtship displays that are associated with the 386 individual Selasphorus hummingbirds that are the focus of analyses presented in Myers et al 2022. A subset of these birds were also used in Myers et al. (2019), and 159 of them have been deposited as specimens in the S...

Summary: | These are sound recordings of courtship displays that are associated with the 386 individual Selasphorus hummingbirds that are the focus of analyses presented in Myers et al 2022. A subset of these birds were also used in Myers et al. (2019), and 159 of them have been deposited as specimens in the San Diego State University Museum of Biodiversity or the San Diego Natural History Museum. Many recordings will include a verbal tag from CJC, BMM or DTR stating relevant recording conditions (e.g. date, locality). Each subfolder contains the recordings for 1 bird. Unfortunately, recordings for 15 birds were lost in a hard-drive crash. Moreover, we recorded many additional birds which we were thereafter unable to catch. Some of those not-analyzed birds are also included here, even though they were not included in the associated studies, since we lacked a DNA sample, morphometrics, or feathers. The recordings are 16 or 24 bit .wav files, recorded at 44.1, 48, or 96 kHz. CJC generally recorded with a Sound Devices 702 recorder and a Telinga pro parabola with a Sennheiser MKH 20 microphone. BMM recorded with combinations of a Sennheiser MKH 70 shotgun microphone, an Audio-Technica AT875R shotgun microphone, a Tascam DR-05 portable recorder, a Tascam DR-60DmkII audio recorder. DTR recorded with any of the above. CJC recordings from Ketchikan, Alaska in 2018 also include voice of Alan Brelsford, while BMM recordings from 2018 include Zachary Williams and in 2019 include voice of Kevin Burns. Some sub-folders contain recordings as initially named by the recorder (name is unedited); others the file name has been edited (but retains original name given by the recorder). For birds only identified by a field ID, an associated table "bird locality & lookup table.xls" should provide enough information to associate each individual folder with the "Main ID" provided in the paper. Also note that, occasionally, some display bouts will span multiple recordings, if (for example) the 'rec' button on a recorder got pressed multiple ... |
