Media notes
NOTES: The frigatebird notes include the initial "chook chook" and the whinnying whistles. Other sounds are actually louder on the cut (because the F. ariel calls are quieter in context). The whinnying birds were perched on nests, other birds (both sexes) hovered overhead. Could not determine exact source of all sounds. May contain some vocalizations of Great Frigatebird, which outnumbered Lessers in this colony. Other Behaviors: Mate, Social Context: Colony.
