Habits and Behavior
Mostly terrestrial, pottering about with head nodding back and forth. Usually rather wary, before one can get too close flushing with an audible wing whirr and an obvious white flash in tail, often landing on a nearby low perch where it may nervously nod head, dip tail, or walk a few steps along branch to better concealment. The call is a oft but deep hoó-oo, sometimes doubled (two-syllabled effect is distinctive); recalls sound produced by blowing across top of empty bottle.
