User's notes

Continuously flying around branch new-growth, like they are looking for something - hard to observe. Slightly aggressive, also towards each other. Sometimes flying to roof area - maybe looking for somewhere to nest? During flight two back legs are drooping. Body black at front, brown (slightly striped?) at back.
