Media notes

Recording Time: 1744 (UTC -4). Temperature 18C. Habitat: mixed deciduous woods. Distance to sound source: 13 meters. Behavior and other notes: Female Red-bellied Woodpeck foraging in a white oak. She was tapping at and removing pieces of bark, apparently eating something. She called in response to another conspecific in the distance. She then flew to a different tree where a male was sitting on a horizontal branch. She jumped on his back for a fraction of a second. He then mounted and mated with her -- all the while they were making constant, quiet calls. Specific location: Latitude 39.575464, Longitude -78.056623. Elevation 156 meters. ID’d by sight and sound; ID confidence 100%. Equipment notes: Recorder HPF on at 80Hz, -12dB/octave.
