Media notes

Half way through this recording, I was able to locate the GHOW approximately 20 m away, located ~ 7-9 m up in an ash tree where the trunk split into two. As it vocalized these atypical calls, it slightly leaning forward with tail slightly raised with each phrase given (as a GHOW typically does when calling). Near the end of this recording, it switched to its more familiar call/'song'.
