Media notes

Natural calls at 7:06am from one or both birds of a pair of adults as they perched and walked up a diagnoal dock support beam getting nearer to their presumably active nest site under the dock. When they first landed, one of them was carrying a fish. Maybe some courtship feeding happened that I didn't observe or the bird swallowed or dropped the fish. Birds were still perched but silent when I ended the recording and left the area. Highpass filter 250 Hz in Ocen Audio

Observation details
