sounds:

These audio clips, recorded using an Olympus DW-90 digital voice recorder, mostly relate to unidentified birds from our August 2005 Brazil trip. Any help with these would be appreciated (e-mail dcr at astro.umd.edu):

• notes1a,b: Not a gnatcatcher! Maybe an antwren, such as (male) Black-capped Antwren? RG: maybe Rufous-winged Antwren?
• notes2a,b: these are regarding a vireo-like bird with yellow underparts and gray crown stripes on a white head. RG: described bird (and "little kisses" chip notes) are Golden-crowned Warbler; also, the "sea-sea-sea-sea" call near end of notes2a is Pin-tailed Manakin, a Brazilian endemic. In notes2b: House Wren and Blue Manakin.
• notes3: these are regarding a very loud bird seen near Corcovado (also see the movie and stills). RG: female or juvenile Bare-throated Bellbird.
• notes4a,b: a bird seen near a lagoa (lake) in Floresta da Tijuca (Tijuca Forest), just outside Rio. RG: Pale-breasted Thrush?
• unknown1: some kind of gamebird? Heard in the botanical gardens. RG: Slaty-breasted Wood-Rail.
• unknown2: maybe Southern Beardless-Tyrannulet? At the gardens. A Great Kiskadee is also heard. RG: Southern Beardless-Tyrannulet (call like laughter).
• unknown3: a raptor at the gardens? RG: Roadside Hawk.
• unknown4: this call seemed to be coming from a shy yellowish bird in a palm tree at the gardens. RG: Long-billed Wren.
• unknown5: this call came from the canopy of the high-elevation rainforest in Tijuca. RG: Greenish Manakin ("tswee" sound in background) and Red-eyed Vireo.
• unknown6: parakeet? Also at high elevation in Tijuca. RG: three calls: Black-cheeked Gnateater (strongest sound); Euler's Flycatcher "peeweer"; Blue Manakin "kewp".
