gstacks Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 Heard this in a backyard near Sacramento, CA. I tried Merlin but it didn’t offer any ID. 2023-03-17 1304.wav Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IKLland Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 A weird Oak Titmouse? It sounds similar to the 5th recording of Oak Titmouse on Merlin. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gstacks Posted March 17 Author Share Posted March 17 That makes sense. There are a ton of those around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DLecy Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 Oak Titmouse, but I wouldn’t call it a weird one. Many bird species have a vast vocal array, some of which we rarely hear, or hear less frequently. Last night two Barn Owls were flying over my house low enough that I could see them in the dark, and in what I presumed to be some sort of courtship display, one or both of them was making a super interesting clicking noise I had never heard. Doesn’t mean it was weird, just that I had not encountered it before. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aidan B Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 I agree with Oak Titmouse, that's a pretty common vocalization around here. I hear that call everytime I go birding here in Sacramento. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
