Observation details
The male wasn't that difficult to approach, but it always stayed in the shade (and preferred backside of tree to me). I could hear another BBWO nearby and it eventually came in - also with a yellow crown (that may have been less prominent), and it interacted with the male as if it was begging. The two flew off downslope together. I found them again, but I couldn't get nearly as close this time before they flew off further downslope. I had heard a third bird off to the west so headed in that direction. Eventually I found a silent adult female. It may have been the third heard-only, or possibly a fourth bird...
