Observation details
Something amazing happened today. This morning, I was able to record the two audio files I've attached here. After editing the audio (amplifying, noise reduction), I played the first audio on my phone. It was so clear and loud that a fantail answered back. I did play this whenever I see one, and the fantail would answer back. Getting them pictured is so hard because they move fast, jumping from one branch then to another. I have never successfully shot a clear, close up photo of a fantail until now. I used the first audio and was happy it came to my location (I hid but I think he saw me) and was able to snap photos and a video clip with him answering back. It's funny.
