This totally made my day. I LOVE teh music they've put with it! I saw something similar on the PBS programme Nature on what looks like a different species of manakin bird ...that moonwalks!

HI:
What's the bird that's calling in the background that sounds like an American Wigeon?

Gotta love dancing birds! That might be the Manakin calling?

HI:
Someone emailed me about the birds calling in the background. He heard the American Wigeon too! He als heard a Hermit Thrush and Green Heron. Who ever dubbed in the background birds needed South America field guides!!!
