Nuttall Ornithol. Cl. 6). The vocalizations between 0:19 and 0:27, 0:40-0:42, and once or twice elsewhere may represent "Incipient Locomotory Hesitance Vocalizations." Note that the pace of these vocalizations seems to be unusually fast. Quality changed from "E" to 1-2 - CAM - 7 January 2005]. Other Behaviors: Court, Advertise. Habitat: Suburban.
