Media notes
Spontaneously calling bird. File trimmed and normalized. Awful road noise
Observation details
Heard only. At sunset, calling incessantly from ficus tree in a private yard just south of the park, near the yard of the transportation service building. I heard the call from the park and went over to investigate. The bird continued to be buried in the tree and I never saw it. Call a series of descending dry clicks, approximately spi-ti-ti-ti-tuck. This bird's calls were mostly 4-5 syllables, with the occasional 3-syllable call in there. Cellphone recordings: I've added two files - one without much filtering, just trimmed and normalized. But the road noise is awful, so the second one is the same file but with an aggressive 1 kHz low-cut filter. (This is typical for Summer Tanagers and me: the brighter the bird, the more difficulty I seem to have seeing it. Thank goodness they call sometimes) The bird can be heard, and probably seen, from the park. Please be respectful of private property.
