Dollarbird Calling

This is the second time I filmed a dollarbird. Unfortunately the bird was out of focus because of my videocam was autofocusing at the leaves in the foreground. I was contemplating to stop the filming so as to switch my videocam to manual focus mode. But I was afraid that the bird might fly away while I do that. So I keep shooting. The bird was actually quite far away and I had to use digital zoom to make it big enough. Hence the poor quality of the video.
I was also hoping to record the sound made by the bird. I was happy that the bird did called out loudly. This is the first time I hear a dollarbird.
