Observation details
As we made our way around the impound, we heard a sound that we couldn't quite put our finger on. We approached the willows along the shore as quietly as we could. Started recording and stood in place looking around. After almost a minute, we both heard what sounded like quail. But before we had a chance to ruin the recording by talking, it called again, this time much closer and clearer. We never got a glimpse of it. Marc may have gotten a little too excited and tried to get closer to the willows, and in doing so stepped on some dried twigs. The bird went silent from then on. The only thing we saw come out of the willows was a STJA being chased by a CASJ. Marc thinks he heard it call again while we were on the other side of the impound.
