Media notes
Unseen Broad-winged Hawk calling from tree as a second BWHA circles low overhead. The accelerated call coincides with the circling bird. I believe this call is from a fledgling and the circling bird is an adult, perhaps annoyed at my presence; though the adult did not vocalize during this recording, it did do so a few times during this encounter, but quite infrequently, perhaps once every few minutes while the presumed juvenile called quite frequently with at most 30-second breaks between calls.
Observation details
First bird typical psee call every now and then. Second bird more nasal and frequent and plaintive - fledgling call? Call got more insistent and frequent as adult circled above, but concurrent with my approach, causality unclear. Never saw the bird perched, though the purported fledgling eventually took off, I think, but did not go far, and returned to same tree or one close by. Not sure if this is enough to justify coding as FL. Will upload audio later.
