Media notes
NOTES: (Range Status: Normal. Frequency of Sound: High. Gen. Climate: Cyclic wet-dry. Cover Density: Sparse.) These birds seemed to be involved in courtship behavior, mate selection, and nest site selection. The louder vocalizations were carried out in flight, when from 1 to 5 of them would fly out from a nest cavity, make a wide circle of from 25-100 m. and return to the tree in which the nest cavity was located. I noted this behavior from mid-October to mid-November. Rainy season began in late November. Other Behaviors: Court, Perform Visual Display. Habitat: Forest, Second-growth.
