Media notes

I'm not sure how much of the beginning of the trill I missed. These things can go on and on and on. Recorded at about 9:30 pm.

Observation details

Even rattle lasting up to several minutes, preceded sometimes by typical nightjarish hiccups . I think this is also what we heard last night at Ongava, Square-tailed shouldn't be so even, and Eurasian shouldn't be vocalizing. According to Martina here and John at Ongava, they've just started to sing in the past few days.
