Plumbeous V birds by ear!!

Another Empid. I watched this one about 30 minutes. I’ll only say this one is from Oregon. Your diagnosis?
Ever hear a Cara Cara vocalize? They tilt their heads back onto their backs, clack their beaks and emit a kind of a growl !!
I have a couple. This first one is from NE Oregon on 6/21/22, in Wallawa mountains at 6500 feet in meadows with trees adjacent to pine/oak woodlands. There were at least 5 of the same species within a few 100 yards of each other vocalizing many times.
I’ve been enjoying the morning noises at in Will Co. (nothing much to see in these videos, just to hear).
Another beautiful day in Colorado!! With a few stunning birds!!
Here’s a few other breeding birds from out Oregon.
