Observation details
Bright HY bird, many photos. Feeding on lawn, mostly in NE quandrant of cemetery, but also flew up into crown of live oak and gave a long, rambling, 'rusty-gate' squeaky set of vocalizations, possibly a song (does this make it male?), Then came back to lawn to be seen by most birders chasing it, but then about 5 pm flew up into top of another oak, looked around a while, and then flew to parts unknown as it was getting darkish and dingy.
