Occurs in pairs that forage on the ground and roost in trees by night. Often best seen at known egg-laying sites, either during laying sessions, or roosting in trees nearby. Generally silent, but occasionally gives a loud, bubbling “waow.” [Ebird]

update 202310

– another main target for a short Photography tour, not really a difficult bird to be seen but it stay far from the hide and very alert with sounds. But there are few individual come to the ranger area which gave some close pictures.

– 这次摄鸟行的其中目标之一。虽然不很难，可是在的鸟的“小屋”里鸟在蛮远还很怕人。因为是喂食的，有什么声音活动就会跑掉。可是在门口处竟然有4只很乖在哪活动可是还是不可以太大动作。

update 202208

– as usual very fast moving and tiny bird.but now with the AI camera CANON R7. so much easier with the animal eye detect. almost like point the lens to the bird and press shutter

– 依然一样。小，快。可是时代不一样了。佳能R7 ， 动物眼对焦，要拍到已非常容易。就对准方向，按快门。
