Media notes
The bird was heard atop a tall Alder (Alnus nipalensis) tree. That was part of a stand of alder trees alongside a stream with fairly degraded understory. Bird was heard during the approach to the trail and eventually it called from a tree right above the observers. It did not seem to perform its full song instead repeating a few notes – a part of entire repertoire. After about two minutes of calling the bird stopped vocalizing, it started calling again a short while later and was then see about 80 feet (25 metres) off the ground in a dense tangle just below the top of the tree.
Observation details
Call heard and male seen by some members of the group. Bird was sitting in the top most parts of a tall alder , the underside and the flanks were partially visible.
