Rank : 2
Resident
Although thespecies is a common resident, we notice the species more often in summerthan in any other seasons because of its song: a series of whistlinghit-hit-hit as it ascends, and chat-chat-chat-chat as it descends. Inwinter, however, the species is inconspicuous because of its low-profileplumage and lack of song.
