Hi,
I did not see the white face, but that might have been because I didn't
take my bins on camp. On a different subject, just outside our classroom, I
flushed a bird from the grass. It flew around with a slowish flight, a bit
aimlessly/undecided, until it finally alighted in a big pine. From what I could
tell (again without binoculars), the bird was between a warbler and a
treecreeper in size. During flight it had wingbars just like that of a Brown
Treecreeper. In the pine, it sat extremely still, probably hardly moving for a
good 2+ minutes. After a bit, it relaxed, and started calling: a high, weak 4
noted sequence, with the first note lowest, jumping a bit to the 2nd and then
down in less than semitones in the last two. It called consistently for a couple
of minutes, and was then flushed by the arrival of my friends. It flew into an
adjacent pine and started hopping around for a bit before I lost track of it.
The plumage (I may be easily wrong-it awfully back-lit) seemed to be plain
light below, possibly slightly darker around the head. It had a blackish
tail with a white tip, mediumish in length. Any suggestions?
