Observation details
Continuing find by Dan Burton, calling near intersection of Skyline Trail and Bugbee Path, north of Houghton’s Pond. Lifer! First heard loud and explosive “pwit-SIP!” song from high up at (42.2119693, -71.0922416), then heard calling a sharp “peek!” from the understory at (42.2117607, -71.0919791), and glimpsed briefly flitting around, but so briefly that I couldn’t even tell the bird was an empid. I was very lucky to hear it at 9:05 am, since it soon went quiet and wasn’t calling when I circled back around 12:50 pm. Will upload recordings of the song and the call.
