second jules I walked away, neither slowly nor
rapidly, just steadily. Cop. caller would call then
flutter run 2 feet to catch up, stand &
cop. call then repeat. Then moved off and
went into shade - call & posture for a
minute or so. (Picture!) Then stopped to
rest. Other bird was embedded 206, kept
walking & sat 23 feet from that nest.

above. Due. bird wraps up wacked
when giving call "......" "....

note + little notes in series descending
+ getting more rapid as descended vocalize
