Observation details
NO PUBLIC ACCESS, SORRY! This was on the Fife Plantation, which we were birding with owner permission as part of the Savannah River NWR Christmas Bird Count. Extended study of this western vagrant. It called several times, giving a sharp, simple “pip!” call. Very pale chest, paler than a Great Crested. Dark margins of the underside of the tail wrapped around the tip of the tail. Bill all black with no pale base, and thinner than a Great Crested. White margin on innermost tertial fairly narrow. Behaviorally, it was unlike Great Crested in that it perched consistently low to the ground and was in an open shrubby area along a dike. We watched it eat berries from Chinese tallow tree and regurgitate the seeds, and also several large insects (beetles or grasshoppers). Photos to come.
