Observation details
Sang several times, followed me around; presumably has nest and/or chicks. From notes: heard song of SBDO soon after GRYE and then LEYE started calling as I arrived at wetland (wpt all3). I walked around to wpts CL3, sbdoad2020, CL2, sbdo2004, sbdo(2022). First sbdo i photographed had fluff on its bill, later bird didn't, but fluff may have come off, so not certain if I saw one bird or two, but early on I thought I saw 2 flying together (unsure). Sbdo on ground foraging almost exactly at sbdoad2020 wpt. At that point it seemed fairly unconcerned, and gradually walked a bit towards me as it foraged. Also sbdo on ground very close to cl2. Closest photos are of bird very near sbdo(2022). Overall I heard sbdo song about 8 times, always brief so that I usually pressed record just as it finished. Got one or 2 though, along with 2 calls. Sbdo seemed concerned, following me around most of the time, but far from frantic. wpt sbdo2023 where I took the closest photo of bird in treetop.
