Media notes

Calls from an adult circling the spit several times. Most calls are distorted (some at recorder, probably some at the mic.) Juvenile calls in the background.

Observation details

On spit. Fewer while I was recording. About half juveniles. All recordings from same spot (base of spit) and of same group, but each made separately and likely of different individuals (though some individuals are undoubtedly recorded more than once.) Cuts definitely of the same individual or adult-juvenile combination were combined into single files before upload.
