Jueves 15 febrero

I heard the call of the Cinnamon-bellied Saltator (Northern Gray Saltator) again this morning after not hearing it the past two days. There was a brief but violent wind storm on Monday evening after sunset (an electrical transformer serving the Avalon Condominiums was exploded by a touching branch). I was worried that the bird had decided to move on to a safer place.

I heard the call for the first time on the morning of February 6 and then again on subsequent mornings. Each time a short whistle with a rising pitch ending in a note higher than the start (like the first part of a wolf whistle).
