Identification
Pipilo aberti (Abert's towhee)
Caption
Two Abert's Towhees fly by engaged in a mock battle in this sample - the rattle at the beginning of the sample is probably vocalization, but could be wing noise - the jury's still out. They came by so close & quickly that I couldn't get the mic gain turned down, hence the distortion in their chip notes. 0
