Observation details

same location as where found on 14 Nov by Kim Garwood and Willie, on the boardwalk nearest (just north/east of) the old iron bridge, very near Hord Street.  Found bird first at 8:30am and it was completely silent, associating with a RC Kinglet.  It stayed for 5 minutes (photos taken), feeding on both sides of the boardwalk and then disappeared back into the thicket.  Around 9:20, I decided to play a snippet of PSFL calls and pretty quickly got a response from the bird on the river-side of the boardwalk before it flew over to the other side which is when I captured the attached audio.  Also see high-res video of it vocalizing at:  https://www.flickr.com/photos/ecarpe/50618952241/
