Media notes

Two orioles heard calling to each other from high in treetops. I could see the near one about 10m up in a jacaranda tree. The oriole is the three-toned, low-high-low whistle heard at 1, 6, 11, and 14 seconds in the recording, which then shifts to a descending three-toned whistle heard at 18, 24, and 29 seconds. The distant ascending screech of a Gabar goshawk may be heard faintly (for example, at 12 seconds), as well as some ratchet-like chatter from dark-capped bulbuls (throughout).
