Media notes
At the entrance to the trail (at end of road), at 4:04pm, we encountered a flock of Velvet-fronted Grackles, at first 5 or 6 moving through bamboo; but then more and more came through, perhaps totaling ca. 20. They were giving at least 3 distinct types of vocalizations, including the musical notes. Following are 3 consecutive cuts of the same flock in the varzea at and near the beginning of the trail. Recorded using a Fostex FR-2LE with a Sennheiser ME62 & Telinga Universal 22" parabola.

Including one large group—of around 20 birds—right at the beginning of the trail
