Observation details
Heard singing in a partly open, mixed coniferous/deciduous area that happened to be right next to a very noisy generator. When I played TEWA flight calls, the bird came down to investigate, perching directly above me. Though I didn’t have binoculars or a camera on me (much to my chagrin), what I could make out of the plumage from below was consistent with TEWA, and the calls it made in response to the recording matched perfectly. I did get a phone audio recording of it singing. I haven’t recently birded the area where I saw the bird, so I have no idea how long he has been there. First official record for Chichagof Island, as far as I know, though I'm sure they're not as rare as that would suggest.
