Transcription
A bird in the auto camp sang from the top of the oaks in the close-set grove "tree-tree-tree-tree-tree". Sometimes only four times repeated. Sang very late as long as Rustic-backed Thrush was singing - also in afternoon. Could not get a glimpse of it. The tone was throaty, not as high pitched as the regular thrutings note. (Probably Spotted Towhee - later) More Chats in Mendocino Co than I have ever seen or heard elsewhere. Notes used by one bird - all very loud. too-too-toos-too-toos - whistled tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut - very rapid - bell-like note. chack-chack-chack-chack-chack- gay-gay-gay-gg-gggay - quality of crested jay's call whew-whew-whew-whew-whew - calling dog.
