User's notes

Initially, I couldn’t see a male but on my way back through that area later in the morning I saw the male. There were at least three of these birds moving quickly through blackberry bushes. The birds were constantly calling. It almost appeared that they would see me through the leaves, then they would fly to the top of the bush to get a quick look at me before again ducking back into the thicker vegetation.
