While observing the Western Flycatcher yesterday with Nathan Goldberg, Alex Lees, and Nargila Moura, I was able to make a couple of recordings, including two of the more distinctive position calls as well as a longer series of the short high-pitched calls the bird was giving more frequently. For what it is worth, both of the longer calls seem typical of Pacific-slope Flycatcher. Note that the first call in the recording has a short note immediately following it that is actually from the end of a snippet of playback used to elicit these more diagnostic calls rather than part of the call the bird gave. The second example had to be clipped shorter due to interfering noise but is a cleaner example.
