I appreciate your comments Chris - This duet is the most prominent of the
series captured in the recording. There are perhaps 3 or 4 bouts from this pair
(and distant others in response presumably). That year was apparently quite
active as far as Howlers are concerned. What I found so interesting was the
pattern of activity which consisted of broadly spaced duets spread out over
about 3 or 4 hours in the dawn/predawn hours. This structure is hard to post on
Bandcamp (or SoundCloud for that matter).
It's actually amazing the recordings that can be made by scouting a spot and
leaving gear behind (perhaps a controversial technique). I hope to be able to
record in the tropics again very soon. ... or in Africa - the recordings
brought back recently by the Listening Earth crew are stunning.

I have about 10 copies of this disc left. If anyone else is interested in
helping me clear stock, you can use the code 'naturerecordists' for a 20%
