More Sounds in the Morning

This morning I took a few minutes before my busy day gets started (Bryce Canyon's Astronomy Festival begins) to record some more bird song. I had a Plumbeous Vireo nearby that got me going and a few more birds soon joined in the party. The recording begins with the vireo then, at about 19 seconds are some very faint "metallic" chips from a Grace's Warbler. It isn't long before he begins to sing and will be heard almost all the way through. At 59 seconds he lands in a tree about 30 feet from the microphone and gets quite loud in comparison to the previous calls. Some Red Crossbills fly into the area and can be heard shortly afterwards. At 1:27 the Grace's is chipping again, then at 2:05 a Broad-tailed Hummingbird is heard buzzing around, and at 2:20 some Pygmy Nuthatches are faintly heard. The constant chatter through the last portion of the recording is the crossbills bantering back and forth. Total time is about three minutes and the mp3 file is about 3.5 megs.
