Media notes
Dayy-break saga ... We had moved out early ... day was yet to formally begin in the the Sattal valley ... ... brightenig up in the burgeoning twilight ... Suddenly ... a group of Pheasants in the roadside bushes started having territorial issues ... and started calling ... a few of them broke out of the cover and two males jousted on the narrow forest road ... in open ... iving us a lucky chance to record this behavioral event ... Sharp high pitched long calls are by the females of the two groups ... gruff, low piched calls given by two fighting males ... The whistling calls of White-throated Laughingthrush are also heard in the latter half of the recording, showed by a long line in the graph ...
