This shyster is more often heard than seen as it loves dense thickets and hasn't the faintest idea how the air feels like even a couple of feet above ground. We did manage to coax one out with devious use of playback and you can see how ruffled he was in the picture above. Also don't be surprised if you find this small bird feeding another several times its size. The larger bird is most certainly a cuckoo fledgling and because of some bad contracts our guy loves to play foster parents to the cuckoo.
