Nuttall Ornithol. Cl. 6). There are two examples (at 0:45 and 0:55) of vocalizations that may represent "Incipient Locomotory Hesitance Vocalizations." Quality changed from 1 to 1-2 - CAM - 7 January 2005]. Habitat: Forest, Evergreen Forest, Coniferous Forest, Deciduous Forest, Stream, Riparian, Canyon.
