Black-faced Antthrush - Formicarius analis Rolf A. de By 1991-12-02 Sajta, Cochabamba, Cochabamba (Bolivia) (240 m) song -

Well, playback was used actually by using this recording. This is probably my most historic recording, with an impact that I did not foresee nor intended.

Mark that this is my 1194th recording contribution to XC. That number will not ring a bell with anyone, however, it is also the number of recordings that Sjoerd Mayer left behind for us here at XC. So this one gets posted to commemorate him and his bird audio legacy.

The recording is special and a very vivid memory. Sjoerd and I were birding the trails near Sajta this one morning, and we picked up the antthrush. I recorded it on my silly handheld Sony tape recorder, a cheap device, but an engineer's marketing mistake because it gave quite remarkable quality. (WHich has suffered somewhat on tape in storage in the 28 years since.)

Upon playback, the bird came in, came close, ... came onto the trail between Sjoerd and me. Sat still, trying to decide where that sound just now came from. Then, quietly hopped on. It wouldn't return for a second request from us. In the years since then, Sjoerd always told me that this was the moment he snapped into becoming a bird recorder.

Patient, persistent, with incredible intensity, never giving up on audio puzzles, which in those pre-XC times were much more challenging than nowadays. Sjoerd was an amateur ornithologist of the pure type. Yes, he had done the Phillippines as well as Nepal on the bird trail, and by himself. But his love for bird sounds was born in Sajta. Just a few minutes after this track was recorded.

Man, am I happy to share this one!
