Doug: I looked and listened. The calls all have a very distinctive
down-slur, which does not match any of my recordings or memories. I first
thought Horned Larks or Crossbills, but spectrum looks closest to my Snow
Bunting flock sounds, therefore I am thinking finches of some sort. Even
Fringillids - how 'bout one of the Goldfinches in your area. Sorry not to
be of more help. . . .

I keep thinking of Carduelines, but this sound just doesn't match any that=
I can find in my or any other reference. Definitely a flock of small
passerines, but that's about as far as I can get. I feel strongly that I've=
heard them before, and I'll wake up in the middle of the night with an
"Aha!"...
As to BRSP, I live with them all winter and hassle them in the summer in
Colorado - never recorded this particular sound, though.
