Observation details

2 individuals observed sequentially, definitely two separate birds (also one banded one not so that helps lol).— around the same age but in separate locations. i observed one bird attempted to initiate courtship dance with a BFAL from behind ‘āweoweo, maybe the makalena will find one another. wasn’t going to report species again because of status, but since kure is more or less a maiden ebird dataset, i think it’s worthwhile to report 2 birds. pretty neat
