Media notes
RNDU males were recorded near shore.
Observation details
RNDU female (1) and males (4) were just off shore. The male RNDU had a black, peaked-shaped head, neck and breast with a dark back, grey flanks and a white vertical spur just behind the black breast. The males were intermittently vocalizing. The deep croaking note of the female was heard once. They were with HOME (male) and COGO (male). NO BWTE were noted. We used playback at very low volume in the car to discern if the call notes were actually RNDU. We have not heard RNDU males vocalize before. The RNDU did not respond to the play back.
