Media notes

NOTES: [This recording contains primarily the tinny chip calls, chase calls, and wing buzz of Selasphorus platycercus, but there are a few "tchew" calls and some chase calls of Archilochus alexandri in places (especially 0:48-0:58, 3:52-3:54). As far as I can determine, the part between 1:40 and 3:50 is almost exclusively the Selasphorus. Quality changed from "E" to 1-2 - CAM - 10 May 2005]. Number of individuals=AM2+AF2+;. Habitat: Chaparral.
