User's notes

There were two Dollarbirds perched on a branch a dead tree, one of which was a juvenile. The adult was normally perched on a branch away from the juvenile but I noticed the older bird twice fly off to find food, that it brought back. As it got close, the juvenile would start calling. The adult would land on the branch to feed the juvenile bird before flying a short distance to a different branch to pause and survey the area. After a little while the juvenile flew off first towards the north, followed in less than a minute by the adult.
