[pct-l] Bird calls



"Hi Yogi",
That's a black capped chickadee. Usually rendered as "Hey Sweetie".
3 or 4 descending notes.
Other birds of the PCT.
Chi-ca-go   California quail
Fee-fiddly-dee (descending) Hermit thrush.
Veeeeee..........Veeeeee.......... etc. Varied Thrush (in Or and Wa)
Yank yank (ad infinitum) Red breasted nuthatch
Whoomp Whoomp  (not your Nalgene sloshing) Ruffed Grouse mating call.

After a while the Hermit thrush starts to sound like some sort of fever 
bird
when you are sweating up some endless hill and it just goes on and on and 
on.
