Observation details
Add video of display with better internet. This guys was so fun to watch. We had walked by him not noticing him. But then I heard a noise and turned to watch him doing a flight pattern of a shallow arc, back and forth about three feet making a small sound. He repeated this several times taking a minute or so break in between. Made a video of him the last time and though the video didn’t record it, he made his arc much larger and wider, by five feet.
