mimicry. The quickly repeated single note most certainly is an alarm

like an alarm call?
I'm only assuming that it isn't an alarm call because they seem to do it
every evening and from several widely separated trees at the same time. But
not always, so perhaps something is disturbing them.
Alarm call or not, the main thing I wanted to confirm is that this sound
could indeed be WPHEs. I will write "and at dusk" in the margin of my
Slater, next to the alarm call.
Thanks for your help with this, everyone.
