Observation details

An adult heard and seen well right by the road. We had been playing FLOW calls for several minutes without hearing any. Then, I began whistling the NSOW whistle. Within seconds one screeched near the road and began whistling back. I quickly managed to spot it perched in a cedar right next to the road. We had excellent looks in the flashlight beam and some good photos too.
