Heard and seen in the large sycamore tree directly east of the baseball field. Since these birds are more often than not silent and inconsistent with their calls, I felt this was an opportunity not to be missed since this one seemed particularly 'chatty'.

Calls from four birds foraging for insects together over a grassy field. Calls seemed somewhat aggressive, and usually occurred when one bird would push another off a perch, often resulting in an aerial chase.
