Upon arriving at formal garden this AM,I quickly noticed an unusual sounding bird call. As I approached the open lawn area where the sound was originating, Dickcissel came to mind. I quickly played the "chick" alarm call and the bird repeatedly responded in kind. Unfortunately , two of us were unable to get a look at the bird. I followed the sound around for a couple minutes as the bird clearly moved to a few different locations but was never able to see it . I was able to make a mediocre sound recording that catches a few examples of the "cheet" or "chick" calls the bird was repeatedly and cleary making.
