Observation details
2 males displaying to orange billed hen. These buggers were hard to photograph given distance/heat waves. Easy enough to see thru scope, though. Males had a typical BAGO crescent on the face, differing nicely from the oblong circles on the faces of the male COGOs. The folded wing was mostly dark with white bars, in contrast to the white folded wings with narrow black marks of COGOs. Finally, the black "shoulder spur" was evident in both males. The female looked a bit darker headed, but truly the only ID mark I could see was the orange bill (and that the males were displaying to her, and her alone).
