Media notes
What seem to be a pair of Russet-mantled Softtaills explode into song in response to fishing playback in a good patch of montane forest along the road between Levanto and Chachapoyas, at 2900m. Two birds came in close and sang excitedly but intermittently; so I made multiple recordings, here placed together. Background includes: (1st cut) Utcubamba Tapaculo, Rufous-browed Peppershrike, House Wren; (2nd cut) also Azara’s Spinetail & Andean Flicker; (3rd cut) also Chestnut-crowned Antpitta. Recorded using an Edirol R09 with a Sennheiser ME67 & foam windscreen.
Observation details
A pair responding to fishing playback; and then 3 birds moving with a Superciliaried Hemispingus flock; all at ca. 2900m, but in distinct forest patches, each with some Chusquea bamboo; photo
