Observation details

Surprising. First impression was Saw-whet but corrected after it called. At least this many flitting about in the trees about 5 feet above us. Very tame. Catching bugs from the trees and calling very softly. Amazing to see so many active in such a small place. Surprisingly, this attached recording was taken right below the bird. Calling so softly at one point was unsure if it was even coming from the bird I thought it was coming from
