Really great experience!

Behaviour

Standing on ground, looking around. One calling. Pecking at ground some, engaging with one another. Saw an adult bite a juvenile, looked playful/disciplinary in nature, not aggressive/fighting. 8 birds just hanging out, mostly watching us, also engaging with each other. Two birds were biting at or messing with the trail post. After about 15 minutes, they took flight together and landed further off the trail.
