Observation details
Estimate; up to 7 seen at one time. Courtship behavior seen once, near the cross-fence: 2 birds perched nest to each other on a branch, hopping back and forth from side to side and turning towards each other. Did not see them passing an object. Later, both members of an apparent pair seen carrying fine twigs and grasses to a developing nest ca 1-2 m high in a Prunus virginiana shrub covered with Clematis ligusticifolia, within ca 5 m of the stream. Both times, the pair flew to the nest more or less simultaneously, for which a structure was already visible.
