Media notes
Contact calls by a pair of birds that were in almost constant motion as they foraged (often amid dense vegetation but at times completely out in the open), initially about eye-level but later 5-6 meters up in an Acacia-like tree along the road across from the small pond/swamp located about 1 1/2 kilometers beyond the logging camp (in an area where we regularly saw these birds and this is almost certainly the same pair I previously recorded in cut #BOL-057). When I first started this recording I saw both members of pair within 15 centimeters of each other but soon after this the female flew across the road and I followed the male (the end of this recording I think only the male was present), which gave many of the soft “pip” calls. I also saw it give the chatter calls (which I had been thinking was given only by the female). It was therefore difficult to determine which member of the pair I was on any given time. This was recorded after I did some "spishing," in response to which, the male came right in to check me out so I managed to get quite good views of it (my views of the female were not nearly as good). Partly to mostly cloudy, some breeze, 82° F. ML: 75 Hz high-pass scientific filter applied in Adobe Audition CC 2015 to all segments. Other Behaviors: Contact. Equipment Notes: Sennheiser powered using phantom power and with filter in flat position and attenuator off for all recordings. Nagra input set at 2 mV / Pa and low-pass filter in flat position unless noted otherwise.
