very far away. So far has been singing from
4 posts(bushes), all with a diameter of 40yds. Desert

11:02- has gone even further yet up wash
& is somewhere 150 yds E. of me but

11:03 - Has returned to within 50yds of usual
dia & sang 2 times atop Artemisia. Took
10ys flight toward wash low over ground,
let in middle of bush, hopped by
steps to top, near top sang once, descended

1st part of song as the interrupted, pause
about 10 sec. Sang once - flew to top of
typeun, top-most twig sang 6 times, swinging
head from side to side, descended into bush,
not heard singing. Another heard far in
distance on same side hill down Canyon. All these
observations taking place at base of hillside
