Observation details
Very unexpectedly, I had 5 birds along the first 300 yards of E Preston McDaniel as you walk up from the stop sign at Eastatoee Creek Rd. I have only ever had 2, maybe 3, along this stretch before, with the birds usually right at the bridge on opposite sides of the road. One of these 5 birds today is in the second recording, though it is faint because the bird was pretty far away. Another bird is in the 3rd recording and this is a better recording of the KEWA, though quite a few other species are being loud. A 6th bird was heard on the other side of the power line cutover right at the edge of the forest. Birds 7 and 8 were along Trillium trail, with one bird being the mostly all-brown juvenile bird, lighter below (I could see it better today), that I saw here last week and the other bird being a parent that I observed feeding the young bird one time. The first recording is of this juvenile bird. Although I thought that Merlin knew the chip note of an adult KEWA, it was not able to identify the chip notes in the recording as belonging to a juvenile KEWA. There were two Acadian flycatchers in the vicinity of this recording and several times they called right on top of the juvenile. Also 8 is a conservative number of KEWA today because I thought I heard 3 other birds but I could not be certain so I didn't count them.
