Media notes
Double-rap drum at dawn of male Cream-backed Woodpecker in large tree with some dead limbs on grounds of Rincón del Socorro. A female joined him, foraging quietly in the same tree. Both were preening intermittently and foraging. Then the male would move down to the same dead branch to drum. An enthusiastic Chalk-browed Mockingbird shared the same tree for a long time, and in the background are the deep two-note booms of Greater Rhea and a few songs of House Wren. Recorded using a Fostex FR-2LE with a Sennheiser ME67 directional mic with an Auray shaggy windscreen.
Observation details
Male and female together; male was drumming at sunrise, and female was in same tree, foraging. They would forage together for awhile, and then the male would work his way back to the same dead branch in the tree and drum again.
