Media notes

NOTES: BURRY, DOVE-LIKE 'COO'-ING. TWO PATTERNS: 'COO COO COO' (PITCH DESCENDING ON LAST 'COO') AND 'COO COO COO COO' (THE PITCH DESCENDING ON THE THIRD 'COO' WITH THE LAST 'COO' BEING AT A LOWER PITCH THAN THE INITIAL TWO). UNCERTAIN IF THESE INDIVIDUALS WERE TWO OF A PAIR (MALE AND FEMALE) CALLING TO EACH OTHER OR TWO MALES SITTING ON TERRITORIAL BOUNDARIES CALLING TO EACH OTHER. THEY APPEARED FAIRLY CLOSE TOGETHER SINCE BOTH WERE ABOUT EQUALLY WELL FOCUSED ON THE PARABOLA. ACACIA-BAMBOO SECOND GR.
