If so, is that the case with the spinifex pigeon which is able to run and fly so soon after birth? How long does it take them to open their eyes? Do you know about honeyeaters and the amount of time it takes them to do so?

I usually use my external Rode shotgun mic, but I often also get local sound with my ZOOM recorder, especially if there are man-made noises at the time of video.Richard Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09906609808628207804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9014453741709460041.post-55295868561522872282009-09-03T02:21:38.728+08:002009-09-03T02:21:38.728+08:00Fantastic quality on that video and great views of...Fantastic quality on that video and great views of a bird most of us will never see.

They often run like little chickens in front of the car when you're driving slowly along an outback track.Richard Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09906609808628207804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9014453741709460041.post-4102867804871019142009-09-02T10:24:00.211+08:002009-09-02T10:24:00.211+08:00That was a really fun video to watch.
