Observation details
Sometime between 0730 and 0800 I heard a single "hoo HOO hoo" perch-coo vocalization along the stream, E of reach 4. At 0841 while 20 m from the willow at the photo point, an ECDO flew towards that willow from roughly S, nonvocal, circled, and flew back to a perch in the Chokecherry row ca 75 m SW. It flew S out of sight at 0844 as I walked forward a bit more. At 0845 I looked carefully at the willow from about 10 m away and found a ECDO sitting in ca the same place as the previous week. This bird then flushed and flew SSW into the distance. I checked a bit more closely and found what appeared to be a barely visible platform of fine twigs. Checked the nest on the return at 1340; it was unoccupied at this point.
