I enjoyed all those immensely, Jim.  Made my morning in fact, so
thanks for posting.

common, but the sharper cherp reick chick chick is, in my experience,
rather uncommon.

would start calling in the pre-dawn dark from the top of a cottonwood
tree in my yard (forty feet from our open bedroom window). The
sessions were very lengthy, perhaps as long as half an hour. This is
the second year that a Cassin's Kingbird has sung in the pre-dawn from
this very same tree. Songs from both years sound almost identical.
