Media notes

NOTES: [The first part contains "Song" (with the first rendition decapitated) followed by a series of sharp "Chip" calls, apparently by a perched bird. The second part is mostly wing "whirring" but also with chipping (apparently from a second bird in the background). The third part has only wing whirr, the fourth is mostly wing whirr but with one Chip at the beginning, and the fifth part has primarily softer Chip calls from a flying bird in addition to some wing whirr. Quality changed from 2-1 to 2-1, 1-2 - CAM - 9 December 2004].
