   explosive wok of BCNH. Flew over 30 sec apart at 0305. I had originally had this as two birds thinking if they were flying northwards and I heard a call to the east and 30 sec later to the west it could two individuals, but after thinking about it I decided to change it to one bird. If it had been flying east to west then the 30 sec apart calls would make sense for a single individual
