Media notes
several cuts of songs and calls from a pair of birds. The first three cuts are from one of the pair, perched at the top of a 4m high tree in an otherwise mostly tree-less lava field, given about an hour after playback. The next two cuts are of calls from both of the pair of birds, perched on a large rock amidst an extensive lava field. While giving these calls both of the pair would bob up and down and flair their wings and tails.
Observation details
*Pair seen and photographed very well; first birds we saw upon exiting the vehicle! The birds stayed in a fairly small area at the edge of the lava field, spending some time in a lone tree (and singing from there), and the rest on the rocks in the lava field. They gave a cool display in response to playback, where one or both birds would lift their wings as they perched near each other on the rocks, calling all the while.
