Marshall, 1945 Palau Gallicolumba canifrons 23. Normal pace. Some thing impresses me as with Megapode - can walk with ease than worst kind of rocks looking as if going on a paved road. Like the Megapode is restricted to benches or floors of canyons where there is a little soil. Less than 10 indiv. of each sp. seen during entire stay. None in the seemingly swell habitat on Dabel into with rich soil jungle. When flushed come back to ground. Often will stand quietly behind a tree base after flushed - shot a couple this way. I got one male by imitating hoots - it came walking up a little ravine to me. Got two more by tracking them down while they were perched in trees - 10 ft. above ground & in dense vines - hooting. They answer hooting they call more frequently when you answer them. Hoot is very faint you are close to them when you hear it. Series of upward inflected coo's 7 or 8 of them typical dove pitch & quality. Note the moan ssssssss of zanthomma.
