Media notes
Two birds calling, closest one seemed agitated. Second, more distant bird was either female or juvenile (sounded lower volume, more demure).
Observation details
Two birds, adult male calling and 2nd bird with weaker lower volume call (not sure if juvenile or adult female mate). High pitched squeaky 'spweep' calls repeated, audio recordings obtained. Empidonax flycatcher with large, long bicolored bill (black maxila, mostly orange/yellow mandible), long wing projection, thick whitish wing bars and secondary edging, mostly complete white eyering, greenish head and back, white throat. They were down along creek trail below rest area near damaged foot bridge. Photos and audio recordings will be uploaded soon.
