Observation details
Watched a pair doing a courtship display with coarse vocalizations (will include sound bite) with another 2 looking on and making similar sounds from a nearby tree. After about 5 minutes of this dance (male’s head pointing up as if to show off his throat, bouncing up and down), the male started making soft spiraling noises typical of a Veery and they copulated. She stayed below him on the ground or on a lower branch. Photos are all of the male as camera couldn't focus between the undergrowth on her.
