Observation details

I was able to confirm with 100% certainty today that there are indeed two of them hanging out in the bush. I also got some mediocre photos of one of them and while he was singing you could hear the other calling nearby from a different location feet away. He would fly across to the other side and sing from there a while and you could also hear his mate calling during that. So between that and the nest building from previous checklists, I'm pretty sure they're breeding in that bush area to the right of the parking lot. It's been nice to see all of the birds using the knotweed as perches for singing and cover for nest building since it's introduction has been such a scourge on the ecosystem, at least we can count on it for that.
