Dysallopia albescens
June 13 shot 2 in one lump of brack, and another in a small bush within 2 feet of a nest (of these stroke, downed with side entrance) 2037 but no eggs in the nest. No singing - just morning? chirps
June 14 shot 2 on same branch (2043, 2044). No sound
June 15 Heard one today giving two parts song: "We two" or "whit coo" but could not collect it. Have not heard this song from the other 7 collected so far - only morning chirps or no sound
June 23 Was puzzling over a short-tailed bird when it was joined by an adult Dysallopia. Thought I had gotten both in one shot, but the parent (30308) was singing and led me a merry chase. The parent's skull was immature; one of the long tail feathers of the juvenle just sprouting.
