Media notes

First cut is natural where the female is the predominant caller until the male comes and joins in. The second 2 cuts are as a result of me listening to the first recording in the field and the birds responded rather aggressively and for quite a while. The sudden drops and increases in cicada noise are a result of me moving the mic around to follow the birds.
