Media notes

NOTES: Breeding status: Territorial Sound category: Other: display (no other sound was described on data form. No info about Sound Source. mf) [I suspect this vocalization is comparable to the "complex chatter" described in BNA account for Selasphorus sasin, but the account for this species was particularly weak on the sounds and did not really describe anything similar in this species. Quality added (2) - CAM - 2 May 2005]. Other Behaviors: Advertise, Court. Habitat: Wetland, Creek, Scrub.
