Media notes
Alarm calls of 2 adults near a nest in a grassy valley with cornfields and scattered junipers. This is in a big, lush (now), green valley with a few scattered junipers amid extensive pine-forested slopes. Recorded using a Sony PCM-M10 with a Sennheiser ME67 with a K6 power module & foam windscreen.
Observation details
There were at least two territories here--with 3 birds at one spot where a pair were feeding young and became very much alarmed at our presence, as the nest must have been very close to the road, near the base of a juniper tree. There were 5-6 additional birds well back down the road on the opposite side. We recorded some of the scolds near the nest and a few songs and interaction notes among birds down the road.
