    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    Yep, their typical "wheee-wheee" sound. This particular bird started its song as shown then sang continuously until the head was lowered to the "normal" position. I have 3 "machine-gunned" sequences and when viewed quickly, looks like a movie clip.
