ie, the male may finish first, the
female or both together. Generally,
the male appears (and sounds)
it is the last to
finish.
The vocalizations of the members
of 3 different pairs were
dimorphic: the male (assumed)
utters a distinctly different
phased "song" consisting of
high & lower-pitched notes, the
female seems to utter a more
uniform "song" consisting of
double-noted phrases of fairly
high pitch and only a slight
change in emphasis. Thus
the "songs" might be rendered.
The exact synchrony is not
easily determined but appears
to be fairly uniform, ie, the
"dueting" sounds the same from
time to time. FF's rarely give
their "song" while the male is not
also singing, but it was heard ca 6 times.
