Media notes
Very dark after sunset...the bird had left the spruce and landed in a deciduous tree. It stayed a minute or two before flying out over the park into the darkness. I had to really push setting here by shooting wide open at 1/25s and ISO 25,600.
Observation details
Continuing birds, all in the same tree (the 4th bird was higher and more hidden than the other 3). They were mostly sleeping and occasionally preening and seemed unbothered by the small group of birders/photographers. I waited until after dark and they flew out of the tree to hunt. As they were waking up around sunset I'm pretty sure they made a quiet and unusual chittering type sound at least twice.
