Observation details
Birds with conspicuously large, thick bills for a flycatcher. White covering a large area around throat and down into breast, not an isolated patch like CAKI. Noticeably larger birds than nearby CAKI. A quick "upzip" call with a buzzy resolution gave them away wherever they went. Another call, only somewhat similar, (recording attached) was made numerous times. Upon first seeing a single bird which soon flew off, we heard another calling from a different direction. Suspecting two we waited around until we confirmed it, seeing both birds simultaneously. One bird was spending a curious amount of time on the ground, but soon flew off with nesting material. Photos, recordings.
