Aramides cajauea, July 5, 1960, V 

The first series of these alarm peeps ("AlP's") might be transcribed something else "Wheeeeeee Wheeeeeee -eeeee Wheeeeeeeeeeeee...."

When I reached my hand into the box a second time, the bird uttered more AlP's. These may have been slightly different from the notes of the first series. Each note might be transcribed by something like "Wheeeeeee - eeeeee - oo" (squiggly line after this).

All these AlP's were quite distinct from the similarly long LC notes. Typical LC notes might be represented by the following diagrams:

Or, perhaps better yet:

After this I put WR down on the floor.  It stood still for a few seconds. I began to talk to it.  It began to perform numerous Tsh's.  Most of these Tsh's, but by no means all, were synchronized with my words.  The whole performance made me think of the (?) reactions to "Oooooooo" sounds.

When I started to move around, WR followed me very well.
