Sounds like some of the noisemakers in the raparian areas we just got back
from in Southern Alberta
Our guys frequently give a cha cha cha before the tee.
One fooled me last year giving a Swamp Sparrow immitation repeatedly. Of
course was completely out of habitat for a swampy. Did that for about 10
minutes before broke into the drink drink drink tee vocalization. Will dig
some out and put them up after I clear about 1500 email messages been in
Southern Alberta recording and counting butterflies. Finally got an Albert=
a
Yellow breaster chat recording.

OK, I thought I would step in between Walt with his mystery and give you
one of mine, but maybe not as exciting!
I need some help too with this one, it was about 4:30am this morning and
these calls were coming from the undergrowth in a forest in Redmond, WA.
Certainly the habit was one of a Towhee, but the Cha, Cha, Cha, before
the ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ calls were some that I haven't heard before! Any
clues?
The Trill is that of a Junco with the vocal strength of a Steller, so it
is too loud for a Junco and uncommon behavior for a Steller, so I wipe
those out.
Get your thinking caps on, anyone have a Towhee call like this?
