Tropical vegetation in a dry wash of a larger flowing creek. Foraged near the ground but sang from mid-elevation in the trees. Very skulky. Two individuals heard but only one seen. Unresponsive to Merlin Song audios played from the speaker but responsive to the playback of its own song.

Descending final note markedly distinct from West Mexico songs where the final note is ascending.

Processed in Audacity. Normalized (Peak amplitude at -3.0dB). Noise reduction used (9dB, Sensitivity 8, Fqcy Smoothing 7).

singing, quiet calls around a couple of songs, singing from on or near the ground while foraging; last call in flight; song at 4:43 a blow out when it appeared right in front of my mic; songs thereafter much better than in first half, widely spaced, then good calls after 7:21
