Finally Found a Screaming Piha
Whenever I venture out on the trails around the field station, I am greeted by the loud call of the Screaming Piha. A few days ago, I managed to capture a clip through a high definition scope of a Screaming Piha performing its common call high above in the canopy. This bird is very territorial and uses its call to communicate this to surrounding birds. It camouflages very well and is very hard to spot despite being very easy to hear. Without help from one of the Iwokrama guides, I would never have been able to find the bird!

What a great song. Now I can imagine what the Iwokrama Station sounds like. Thanks!
