Media notes
NOTES: This is a very large colony of thousands of individuals of S. lunata. A few S. fuscata are interspersed, but most of the sounds on the tape are those of S. lunata. The birds were on the ground, but flew up in a sirling mass as I approached. Other Behaviors: Flush, Emit Alarm, Social Context: Colony. Habitat: Lake.
