Media notes
Several singing bouts followed by a nice call series given in chase.
Observation details
Continuing immature male. Sound recordings made of male 'song'; similar to Anna's but less complex, fainter, and shorter in duration. Apparently unique to immature males. There are not many (any?) examples of this song available on the web, so I will try some other techniques to see if I can get better examples of it recorded before the bird departs. This individual has been in my yard since September of 2020, and there are many photos and videos of it available from this location, taken roughly every week since its arrival.
