The birds were calling in that froglike manner, and were being answered by other birds in nearby oaks. Centurus auripons (F 1023) picking on a dead limb about 30' up in an oak. In company with another bird, and both calling loudly. F Falco sparverius (1024) which flew to the top of a dead oak and perched there, some 50' above the ground.
