In sound localization, ITDs are used as cues for location in the azimuth. ITD changes systematically with azimuth. Sounds to the right arrive first at the right ear; sounds to the left arrive first at the left ear. In mammals there is a level difference in sounds at the two ears caused by the sound-shadowing effect of the head.

[2] [5] The bird builds nests in open areas with a bit of cover from surrounding logs and vegetation such as ferns and moss.
