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.
