Notes on Black Crakes Amaurornis flavirostra 2: Vocalizations, feeding and interactions with other species

Abstract

Black Crake vocalizations are described and compared to previous published records, as are observations of dietary items and interactions with other birds in the same habitat. An instance of site fidelity in extreme circumstances is given, together with an appendix of potential Black Crake predators sharing the same environment.

Keywords: calls, diet, inter-specific behaviour, site fidelity
