Media notes
Mimicking calls, including those of Osprey, Red-shouldered Hawk, and White-eyed Vireo. The vireo-like chatter from 10.9 - 12.6 seconds is the jay. The vaguely Osprey-like call at 4.2 seconds is also the jay, as well as the three loud rubber-duck calls following. I was standing in the middle of a road, facing south. The jay was on my right (west side of the road), and there was a White-eyed Vireo on my left (east side). You can hear the genuine vireo chatter throughout the recording in addition to the jay mimicry. I don't know why the background noise cuts in and out. My recorder does that sometimes, for no apparent reason.
