Observation details
I don't know why these are listed as rare at the VLA. I often hear them calling around the Control Building when I'm at work (especially now that I've finally figured out who's singing that song that sounds like someone calling a cat - like a buzzy then warbled "heeeere kit kit kit kit kit" - where the "heeeere" portion is the buzzy sound, then the "kit kit kit kit" is like a sweet, warbling whistle). All five birds were together and crossed HWY 52 as I was walking up it, landing and presumably foraging in every other sage brush before moving on.
