Grace Bell's Research Notes:

Tape Number:

M6.049(11d)

Recording Remarks:

15 ips, Nagra IIIB 40" Parabolic Reflector, AKG Microphone.

Length:

05:07

Location Description:

Woods

Location Name:

Lochside Drive, Royal Oak; Victoria, BC

General Remarks:

The spaces between calls varied from 5 to 35 seconds. Possibly (?) round 10 seconds. It seemed to one the loudest were given after the longest interval of silence, when the fuzzy, rosepink crowned "baby" preened its beautiful feathers and picked a little at the bark of the young fir tree to which he clung.No parent came, but we heard another pileated adult far off. When we left we were in another part of woods, and a series of loud hammering through the trees and several Pileated calls
