Observation details
Heard some robins alarm calling while approaching the area. Adult bird flushed almost overhead and was acting very aggressively, calling and circling me rather than leaving immediately like they usually do. Didn't call until I was very close. Bird didn't leave, but stopped calling as soon as I moved away. Suggests recently fledged young may have been nearby. I have visited area several times recently without any BWHA sighting, so likely not a nest in the immediate vicinity.
