Observation details

Singing birds. Possibly two males counter singing and chased each other at one point. Watched one go to top of three tall dirt mounds and flutter its wings up and down repeatedly which I believe males do to warn other males this is his territory. I could hear the other bird singing in distance when this bird was doing this wing display on the dirt pile which makes me think it’s two males sitting up territory next to each other. Maybe one of the birds born here from this breeding pair is now back and also trying to set up on same spot.
