Media notes
This is one of the pair of EAPH at a cliff side with a small shallow pond at its base.
Observation details
Saw a bird land on a twig then it tail wagged. Darker head, body and tail with light underparts - creme with yellowish tinge, with a smudge of gray on the chest, dark long tail. Bird called several times, from that branch and then in a tree when it flew up higher. Then a second one came into view, it did not obviously vocalize. The pair were in good habitat for this species: a cliff with lots of little ledges, a small (about 15’x22’) shallow body of water at the cliff base. Observed the pair hawking insects from the rock face. They teed up together a couple of times.
