Podrobnosti k pozorování

2nd State record, m.obs. initially, found around 0800 hrs by landowner's kids and landowner shared photos taken around noon on FB "Birding Texas!" page, and report was disseminated around with details by 1330 hrs or so. Likely seen by close to 100 birders (67 ebird lists) today. Bird was initially in somewhat open area without groundcover under Post Oaks for initial observers, but by the time we arrived at 1639, the bird had moved into dense croton cover, and was barely visible, with views mostly limited to the bird's head, often through vegetation, with only occasional views of the birds neck and scapulars. Bird moved around very little from 1639 until about 1840, when it began to be more active, ultimately flying out into more open grassy area (not flushed!) at 1910 where we were able to obtain clear photos.
