Media notes
Typical harsh “peek” call notes.
Observation details
Two individuals heard, one seen, in the area just north of the office. I was first alerted to one by its hard 'peek' calls. A little while later it started to drum on a pine and a second individual flew in and the two called back and forth. There may have even been a third calling from further away but I can only confirm 2 for sure. I didn't have my camera handy but I captured some shaky binoscoped video that shows the relative large size of the bill and the fast drumming behavior: https://flic.kr/p/DzYgX6 An iPhone video that captured audio of the 'peek' calls is here: https://flic.kr/p/Dh7Rc3 And one capturing what Sibley describes as 'interaction calls' is here: https://flic.kr/p/DaJZJx
