Birds of Prey of Africa & its Islands describes the Dark Chanting Goshawk's
chant as "an accelerating series of piping notes, almost a song." I read
that & wondered what in the world it really sounded like. Thanks, Henry.
The same book describes the "main song" of the Pale & the Eastern Chanting
Goshawks as "a melodious series of piping notes."
