Media notes
Recorded at 5:58am in field near EE on Morris Lane beofre it turns to right. One in forground, and 2 in background. Recording begins with AMWO's feathers making mechanical twittering while making a melodious chirping as it returns from sky dance to the ground. Just before it starts to peent again, you can hear another AMWO peenting in the distance. As the close AMWO peents, two are then heard in the background. It takes flight again at about 1:04 min. A little past 1:10 a cackle call is heard (considered as an aggressive challenge call when one male flies over another male, and another just after 1:14. Mechanical twittering ensues as the bird continues to descend, with chirping begininning again about 1:54. It ends just before 2:07 with the bird presumably on the ground, and another male can be heard descending farther in the background, as the male in the forground begins peeting again.
