Media notes

NOTES: Calls by a bird that was seen in silhouette as it perched 12 meters away and 12 meters up overhead in the open on a dead branch at the edge of tall terra firme on the north side of the road just before the second dip [03¡ 47' 34" S, 60¡ 17' 54" W]; this was recorded following an approach by the bird in response to my whistled imitation; the bird called today but never sang; this is presumably the same bird as that highlighted in cut #2000-28-06 recorded at this same spot on 7 December 2000; a nearly full moon was low on horizon before dawn (possibly down at this point); dense clouds were now moving in rapidly despite mostly clear conditions an hour earlier, calm, 79¡ F. Other Behaviors: Scold. Habitat: Rainforest, Evergreen Forest.
