Proposal: Bioacoustics
I know I've had some internal discussions with colleagues with supporters of this proposal about this, but I thought I'd open it up to larger discussion here (and since we have more questions coming in this one might get a bit buried). What do people think about questions like:
What is this animal sound I hear in my backyard in evenings in San Diego, CA, in spring (*link in soundcloud, no spectrogram)? asked by @Shannon here
or
My chicken makes a purring sound. Is this normal? asked by @Pralle here
I'm thinking of questions that may not be asked by bioacoustic scientists, but perhaps instead by people just generally interested in animal sounds and communication.
Do folks think this is ON or OFF topic for the Bioacoustics Stack Exchange Proposal?
I really like these questions (but I like lots of questions!) and am all out of votes :)
