Media notes
At the time, we were quite puzzled by this sound, thinking it was rather Pheasant Cuckoo-like and might be the song of a weird antpitta…? We had never heard this version of Brown Tinamou. Dan Lane first suggested the ID. It was quite distant, singing from down inside the forest that we overlook from our campsite at 6500’ near what is today (2024) regarded as the Trocha Royal Sunangel hotspot. We took a trail from a developing community just down E from our campsite to get closer and made one more recording—that following the annotation. It seemed to be coming from a bamboo thicket. Background (foreground) includes calls and song of Common Chlorospingus. Digitized from original tape recording on a Sony TCM5000, with a Sennheiser series mic with a Mineroff booster & foam windscreen.
