CommentI came across a small group of perhaps 5 of these whistlers while walking on a track. There was at least one male, a little off to one side, and females. The birds were calling loudly and frequently, with the females chasing each other, landing and lifting their tails in an apparent display. I was able to capture a few shots before they moved on.
