Observation details
Continuing at the last bridge where Kyle Klotz found it earlier. I'm convinced that there were two and possibly three total, but I'll be extra conservative given how scarce this species is here in “winter.” First I heard a distant grunting outburst north of the trail, then very shortly afterwards heard some squeaks and growls much closer to the trail. I waited a while and was about to leave when I heard another grunting outburst, this time south of the trail but still close. I saw some movement and eventually not only got a visual of the bird, but watched it forage out in the open for almost ten minutes. After I lost track of it, the "second" bird (close/north side of the trail) grunted.
