The bird returned again to the area where I had been waiting, after which I began recording at 17:28:51 after missing one long-call and about half of the bird’s first song from its new perch, which was about 25-30 meters up overhead. Unfortunately, the bird moved after about two minutes in this tree. Although it did not go far (maybe 20-30 meters) and seemingly into the top of the very large tree with the buttress trunk, it then went quiet almost immediately. It began again with a long-call 17:40:30 and then a song at 17:40:44 from the top of the very large tree near where it was for the first part of this recording (about 30-35 meters almost directly overhead in that it was about 15-20 meters from the base of the tree), after which I got back onto it at 17:41:08 after missing only a single song. The sun was still in the treetops even at the end of this recording (in fact, it was reaching nearly to the forest floor). I heard another long-call at 17:55:03, at which time the sun was just barely hitting the treetops and Bird #1 was still singing intermittently from the south side of the road. This bird then began singing again at least intermittently at 17:59:35, after I had already walked out to the road. As far as I could determine it gave only three songs at this time. Almost perfectly clear, calm, humid, 84° F.
