Observation details

continuing bird; some members of party heard 3- or 4- phrase buzzes of singing bird from north loop platform area. I only had barely a faint sense of one or two phrases. I bushwacked through the field walking east from the platform past the first line of large white pines. the bird was heard well and then seen singing from several perches in the open area just northeast of the line of white pines visible from the platform. approx coords where photos were taken, from satellite map: 42.615629, -73.895330 bird sang mainly longer runs of 3 or 4 dry bzzzz notes on same pitch; viewed from roughly 20 - 40 yards distance, main features seen were from front views -- clear pale breast and belly, crown looked mainly dark in the field, but photos show a narrow grayish crown stripe; very pale supercilium and malar stripes contrasting with buffy/brownish face and marks below malar were conspicuous. color contrast on neck and back were muted by lighting. bill appeared somewhat pale when singing, and looks somewhat pinkish in many of the photos. representative documentation photos with 400mm but still pretty distant -- perhaps 10 - 15 yards away.
