4 birds scolding in tall trees beside the ponds at the PAU, excited about something. bird-seen:yes playback-used:no

This is the usual advertizing call of the male as he comes to the bower, given every 10-15 minutes and in bursts of 3-4 calls; I captured part of one such call and another afterwards here. bird-seen:yes playback-used:no

Juvenile male birds have been seen and heard regularly, more often than adult males. Unsure about the time of recording. Recorded on a deck at the back of the house at the provided coordinates, about 5-10 m above ground. This is typical dry sclerophyll forest on a ridge with eucalypts and casuarinas dominating the canopy, in different areas. There are intermittent creeks (more like ponds along the creekline as of Nov 2018) at the valley bottoms east and west about 200 m away. My recording device is a smart phone, a Xiaomi Redmi Note 4X. Recorded to wav with Wave Editor and converted to mp3. Normalized in ocenaudio. bird-seen:no playback-used:no

A male in astonishing display at his bower, with the female inside the bower, comes in between 1400-1500 each day it seems, one of the most amazing sights I have ever sen and my marvel moment in PNG for 2013 bird-seen:yes playback-used:no
