Cut #2. The focal bird is the same as in Cut 1, with another bird in the background. Note that songtype 3 is atypical, the two main notes are elided.
Observation details
Phoebes like to nest on structures, and no place satisfies a Say's Phoebe more than a campground with multiple bathrooms. I found a nest in the alcove of women's bathroom near campsite 11. I went from there into the middle of campground for dawnsong. The three cuts illustrate the three song-types used in dawn singing. Two of these are not used at any other time of day. See article by McCallum and Pieplow in Western Birds for explanation.
