Media notes
I began recording at 5:46:12 after the bird began today at 5:40 (I had more than the usual difficulty making it into the forest this morning). With some effort I eventually managed to work my way up under the bird, after which was about 35 meters of overhead at the top of the huge tree where it regularly sang, but about halfway through the first part of this recording, the bird moved 75-100 meters towards the eastern end of where it typically sang. It moved again at 5:55:49, going even further to the east, after which I turned the recorder off at 5:59:12 when I was unable to get close to it. The bird soon returned and I got back to it on 5:58:51, with the bird now right up overhead. The bird began moving again at 6:00:55, moving short distances each time but not staying long in any one place as it moved back towards the large tree where it was when I first got onto it. It continued to move intermittently, but it never really went very for each time. After singing consistently for quite some time from a group of trees in roughly the center of its territory, just east of the huge tree where I first got onto it this morning, the bird went quiet briefly at about 6:54:47. It soon began again, but it sang relatively intermittently through the latter part of this recording. After turning the recorder off at 7:05:01, in large part to ensure that the files did not exceed the size of a CD, I got back on to the bird at 7:05:32, after missing a single song, but the third part of this recording was quite short because the battery died after only a short time (after which I missed about four songs and a single long-call, but apart from songs at 7:14:59, 7:16:37 (the latter one near the west end of where this bird sang from), and a long-call at 7:17:50 followed by one more song, the bird seemed to be pretty much finished at this point). Although the bird shifted trees two or three times during this recording, it never went very far, and although unseen, it was apparently about 25-30 meters up about 30-35 meters away throughout this recording. The sun was periodically in the treetops during this recording, partly cloudy (maybe more so than in previous days), calm, 82° F.
