Media notes
NOTES: Aerial Displays [This recording represents single-element, "Laugh" calls by one bird (0:29, 0:46, 0:58-1:07) with "Rhythmically Repeated Calls" and one or possibly two "Songs" by a second individual in the background (1:06-1:14). I believe the "tew" and "djit-djit" in the first half of this recording were given by Plectrophenax nivalis. Terminology follows Miller et al. (1988. Ornis Scandinavica 19: 257-267) and BNA Account. Quality added (3-2) - CAM - 3 December 2004]. Number of individuals=AM5-6AF1; Response to playback: Orient. Other Behaviors: Court.
