Observation details

Continuing. All yellow-orange lower mandible, vest pattern on breast, upper parts a dark slate color, thin wing bars, etc. Found by astute Kris M. and Nichole K. yesterday. Still in extreme SE corner of FRNC. Almost right away heard faint call outside fence at northern corner. Seemed far off but call is faint. Believe now it was just the other side of the bushes over the fence, out of view, most of the time. No playback used. At about 1720 it came into view of it own accord. Snuck in and perched on top strand of barbed wire mostly. Briefly disappeared back over fence out of view with occasional calls to reassure it was still close. Then stealthy reappearance on the wire again. One unusual foray (judging from the posts) to the cluster of very dense canopied pines close to road in this sector, but that was brief. From there, back to the corner. (I noticed it would call after changing position so I would hit record on my phone when it moved.) It was in view on and off for about an hour, and still there when I left.
