Media notes
Two cuts separated by a fade-out/fade-in. Towards the end of the first cut, the bird suddenly sounds much fainter after flying a bit. I put the recorder on the ground and there are camera noises as I'm trying to make pictures of the bird. A very load slamming car door sound was removed at 16 sec.
Observation details
Ad male in the brushy area across parking space. First seen quite deep inside a bush after phishing. Then responded to playback of chip calls with lots of calling and it got quite mobile -- but didn't come out of cover much. Was lucky to get a picture by semi-randomly taking shots of the shrubs from which it was calling. Will add a recording of the chip notes later.
