At 10:10 A.M. one was seen on a north-east branch of a live oak tree, about 25 feet above the ground. It used 2 notes more or less alternately. One was a whizzy wheeze,
the other a more musical note of a higher pitch. At 10:13 A.M. it flew out of sight.
at
10:15 A.M. it was seen again in another live oak tree. Occasionally it broke into its regular song, which sounded something like: tut-tut-tut-tut-tut, all on the same pitch, and very rapid.
