Observation details
Heard singing and recorded during a close flyover. Later heard singing more distantly, but only intermittently, from a fixed location. Not seen. Apparently only one bird. It sounded like a flight type 2. The recording shows classic type 2 flight calls, which are still the only type documented in the San Gabriel Mountains dating back to January, 2011. The recording isn't great--the gain was set too high, and minor wind saturated the sound. There's also handling noise. But in this case I used the recorder without a microphone because that's the fastest way I could get a recording.
