Media notes

NOTES: Songs recorded before dawn roughly 3 hrs by boat upriver from lodge in state of Para. Bird was probably 400 m away, but I believe that the quality of the sound is correct for this species. Full overcast, calm, low 70s. Note that cut #97RDAT20-01 was an announcement. ML: Background subject changed from recordist's original identification of Xiphorhynchus guttatus eytoni to Xiphorhynchus guttatus [eytoni Group] to conform to eBird Taxonomy (v. 1.55). -Jay McGowan/Matt Medler, July 2015. Other Behaviors: Advertise. Habitat: Rainforest, Evergreen Forest, River.
