Another stray cat wandered into Backyard north and the resident Eastern Towhees job is to sound a continuous cat call of one whistled note. In Florida this job is done by the Blue Jays, but up in the Great Smoky Mountains the few Blue Jays around keep a low profile and the Towhees are the boss of the yard. That is actually an interesting thing how Blue Jays can act so differently in diverse environments. That somebody would be so irresponsible as to abandon or let a nice cat like this run free up here is unfortunately not surprising. I tried to carefully outflank the cat and get closer and see if I could communicate, but it bolted into the woods. Here is a video of Towhees alarming on a cat last summer https://youtu.be/UJM4lb6KZvQ it appears to be a signature call.
