Media notes
This bird, a presumed male, was giving a flight display from a perch about 15 meters up in a tree with less than 1-foot diameter. It perched on a small twig immediately next to the trunk, almost hidden. Each burst of sound was given while making a 1-foot elliptical flight, always returning to the same perch. It's unclear to me whether the sound was entirely vocal, mechanical (e.g., wings), or a combination of both. Other Behaviors: Perform Courtship Display, Flight Sound. Habitat: Rainforest.
