Observation details
I heard the bird first, an unfamiliar, sharp tik, repeated often, about 100 feet away, low in brush. It took me about 5 minutes to find the bird as it moved very rapidly from bush to bush, down low and in the inner sections of the shrubbery. After studying it in brief fits and starts for at least 10 minutes it seemed like it could be a phylloscopus warbler. Medium brown above and plain below, with a white supercillium and a dark eyeline, white crescent below the eye, white throat, pinkish legs, buffy UnTC, suggested a Dusky Warbler. I ran back to my car and got my point and shoot camera, with very little hope of getting a shot of this speedy skulker. After about 15 minutes it flew into some fennel (!) and I got a few photos. I also have a video with it's chip calls but am not able to upload it. It is an MP4. I will keep trying.
