March 23 Song heard from one lone bird "chan - qua - ca"
"chan-qua-ca" given in this tempo 1 ♪♩ 1 ♪♩
Three birds sang together while perched a few inches
apart on a dead limb. All birds fanned out the tail
while singing. Moved through the tree top slowly
and sang once while moving. This morning
several birds are working on a nest above and
a foot to the east of the big nest in which 5 birds
roosted last night. Can hear a bird calling
"qua - qua - qua" and "qua". Noted a pair on
the ground moving by long hops - something
like a Robin?; The wings are held below the
tail, this tail is slightly cocked, and the head
and neck are held upright, more vertical.
