Media notes

Flagging for unique call, what I'll describe as a "whistle-chirp". Seen alone on ~10' perch in the Allen St sumac, but with other robins in earshot. Took a little while to track down the source of the call, as this call was interspersed with regular robin calls, so I initially dismissed the robin I was looking at as the source until I was about fifteen feet away and could watch it it vocalizing. Didn't think to make a guess at sex, though light was gray enough it wouldn't have been a confident guess anyway. Call is not yet included in the Peterson Field Guide to Bird Sounds: https://academy.allaboutbirds.org/peterson-field-guide-to-bird-sounds/?speciesCodeamerob&speciesAmerican%20Robin%20-%20Turdus%20migratorius
