Listening to a Continent Sing

Three songs of a MacGillivray's warbler, two-parted, cheer cheer cheer cheer cheer choor choor, the last two phrases lower. I don't hear the two-syllable cheery choory notes heard from many of these warblers.

And how nice to hear the special intelligence of a Clark's nutcracker sounding off in the background throughout this half-minute selection.

Background
