Media notes

NOTES: Calls of female moving along edge of flooded swamp / pond. Bird was generally 2-4 m up over water and 15-18 m from me. It generally ticked only when it landed and then went silent until it flushed again. Upon my approach it generally bobbed its head before eventually flying to next perch. Three parts recorded at 7:25, 7:26, and 7:27. Other Behaviors: Arrive. Habitat: Freshwater, Swamp.
