Media notes
Two birds perched together in the open on branches in the top of a dead snag 60-75 meters away and about 30 meters up over the road through generally scrubby, terra firme forest located on pale gray sand about 8-10 km out the old logging road where we had been working. [ca. 08° 06’ 22.9” N, 61° 38’ 12.7” W, 283 m]. These birds were the snag very close to the one where I had earlier recorded the Pionites melanocephalus in file #BOL321. the bird that I highlighted here was the one with a higher pitched vocalizations, which I think is probably the female. This bird jerked its head around a lot less than did the other bird, which gave the lower pitched vocalizations, and which I think was probably the male of the pair. I recorded these birds primarily because the bird giving the higher-pitched songs seemed to sound a bit unusual. Soon after I made this recording, the bird giving the higher-pitch songs flew off to a nearby tree, but the bird giving the lower-pitch songs remained in the same place by itself. Mostly clear overhead, intermittently breezy, 83° F and the sun appeared to be down at this point. 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.
